Thank you very much for you help. I was able to proceed one step forward but got this error message when trying to open my backup file:

"Fujifilm_X-T2.DAT = 3869 bytes. Proper file size = 5660 bytes."

My backupfile was created in december 2017. Does your program not support DAT-files created with older firmware?

Thanks for your feedback.  To my knowledge, the firmware version doesn't matter.  Any newer version that generates a .DAT file should work.

One other user reported 3868 bytes. That file appears to be missing only the 7 CUSTOM SETTINGS at the end of the file.

I would like to...

1.  determine why some .DAT files are smaller
2.  determine why the 7 CUSTOM SETTINGS are sometimes missing
3.  update my code to accept the smaller files, but not display the missing CUSTOM SETTINGS.  (this will read your smaller file)

Have you ever changed any of the 7 CUSTOM SETTINGS defaults?  If not, please change a couple of settings in 2-3 of the 7 CUSTOM SETTINGS.  Save a new .DAT file, then check the file size.  "Normal" size is 5660 bytes.

Thanks!
