Cobian Backup 5 Help file

Converting old (3.x or 4.x) lists into 5.x lists

Cobian Backup 5 uses a new list format. Old lists from version 3 or 4 cannot be used in the new program. That's why a new utility has been included with the program. In Cobian Backup's folder, find and run the utility convert.exe.

Click on "Convert list" and choose an old list. Click then on "Save as ..."and enter a new file name for the converted list. Click then "Go!" The list is now converted into the new format and can be used by opening it from the user interface.
