I believe that at least the file format used in Safeback v2 should not be too difficult to understand, if you have a few samples.

Doesn't have any safeback images to analyse.

Thanks for your efforts to help.

Well, then I am not sure to have understood why you wanted the program, that, good as it might have been nowadays is a bit dated.

You may want to try contacting the original Author, which is Sydex
http//www.sydex.com/

It is very likely that Chuck Guzis is still around and he was probably the actual Author, and judging from the way he interacted with the good retroechnology guys, he seems like a really nice chap )

Though the tool was sold many years ago to NTI (or Armor or Breakwater Technology) it is possible that he has some contacts and/or can help with your research.

I asked for the program to create some images and analyse the format of the disk image.

I understand that ) , I was wondering about the reason why one would want to get an outdated program not used anymore since years (and that has a number of limitations for today's use) in order to analyze the proprietary format of the images it produces (which as said I believe being not particularly sophisticated/innovative/whatever).

If you had to read data from some images recorded on some obscure media found in a tomb 😯 it could be a form of "digital archeology", if you want to recreate the environment in which a digital forensic investigator worked circa 2000 it would be "digital functional archeology" (you know like those scientist that re-build Roman streets using the same tools, materials and technologies available at the time), etc.

At the time I heard about SafeBack, I didn't know whether it is obsolete. I searched about it and found so..asked here to confirm..
