I've got a DVD with very large files called backup.001 and .002 They date from 2005 and contain photos I believe. However, for the life of me I can't remember what software I used to create them and I suspect they contain a long lost folder of pics.

I've downloaded trials of the following but none recognise it:

Acronis TrueImage
DriveImageXL
Norton Ghost
Paragon various
O&O

A zip programme offers to open it for me and extracts a file just called backup with no extension and asks what to open it with.

Anyone any ideas on a programme that will at least let me view the file names contained in the file or otherwise explore its contents please?

Hmm, but my Win7 doesn't recognise them either. Mind you back then I was using XP or maybe Vista but Win7 should be backwards compatible?

I'd marked the disk as photos but like an idiot not with the program that I used! I might try loading XP on a virtual drive to see if that recognises the files.
