Extract text from backup files (ADI)
To convert ADI backups to another format, you need AOMEI Backupper or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Radio Log & Backup Archive" file type, you need software like AOMEI Backupper or a similar tool.
The .adi extension serves two completely different, conflicting purposes. Primarily, it operates as an Amateur Data Interchange Format (ADIF) file, storing plain-text QSO (contact) logs for HAM radio operators. Alternatively, it functions as a proprietary Disk Image Backup archive generated by software like AOMEI Backupper or Active@ Disk Image.
In the amateur radio community, programs like WSJT-X and platforms like QRZ.com rely on ADIF files to standardize log exchanges. However, reading raw ADIF markup in a standard text editor is visually frustrating, as the tags are cluttered and lack native tabular formatting. Conversely, backup files using this extension are strictly proprietary. Their major disadvantage is severe vendor lock-in: you cannot natively mount an AOMEI .adi file in Windows or macOS without installing their specific utility. These archives are also notoriously massive, frequently exceeding 50GB, making them impossible to process online and prone to total failure if the proprietary header is corrupted.
If you need to analyze your radio logs for editing or archiving, convert your ADIF .adi file to CSV or XLSX for easy spreadsheet filtering, or XML for database integration. For backup images, online conversion to standard formats like VHD or ISO is impossible due to proprietary encryption and massive file sizes; your only pragmatic workaround is extracting the files locally using the original software.

Convert.Guru analyzes your ADI file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted ADIF, PBD, ISO, AD1, CSV, LOG, TXT, PNG, IMG, PDF, TIBX, JPG and ODT files.
If you want to convert ADI file to ISO, VHD, IMAGE, VMDK, VHDX, VDI, BAK, BACKUP, OLD, TMP, TEMP or ARC, you can use AOMEI Backupper or similar software from the "Radio Logging & Disk 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 ADI, try AOMEI Backupper or another comparable tool in the "Radio Logging & Disk 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 ADI converter.
