Extract text from Iomega backup files (113)
To convert 113 backups to another format, you need Backup Exec or other Backup software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Backup Archive" file type, you need software like Backup Exec or a similar tool.
The .113 file is a legacy backup archive created primarily by Iomega 1-Step Backup software or Veritas Backup Exec. These files were traditionally used to store compressed copies of user data on physical media like Iomega Zip or Jaz drives.
Working with .113 files today is highly frustrating. It is a proprietary, closed container format designed for discontinued hardware and legacy operating systems. Because the files hold complete data backups, they often exceed modern file size limits. They are completely unreadable by modern web browsers or standard text editors. You cannot natively browse the contents without the original software cataloging the archive.
Converting a .113 file directly to another archive format like ZIP or TAR is technically impossible using standard online converters. The file must be restored or extracted to retrieve the original target files (like JPG or DOCX) trapped inside. Because this file format is difficult to open or convert, standard tools fail to process it. The original software is usually required to properly read or export the data. However, convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. Just drag and drop your file to see what it is and convert it if our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format.
Convert.Guru analyzes your 113 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted BAC, BKZ, IF and 112 files.
If you want to convert 113 file to BAK, BACKUP, OLD, TMP, TEMP, ARC, ZIP, TAR, GZ, 7Z, RAR or ISO, you can use Backup Exec or similar software from the "Legacy Data Backup" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SNAPSHOT, OLD, IMG, RESTORE, ISO, COPY, VMDK, TMP, VHD, BAK, ARCHIVE or BACKUP files to 113, try Backup Exec or another comparable tool in the "Legacy Data Backup" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our 113 converter.
