Question How to open back-up files .SNA?


Before switching to Ubuntu I was using a back-up software called Drive Snapshot on Windows, which would make files with the extension .sna and with which I could recreate a partition. It also had a "Browser" function with which you could see the content of a partition without restoring it.
Now I have the files, but I can't browse them to recover my files. I tried it with Wine and my original program, but it doesn't work.
I know that the simple solution is to use another computer to recover the files, but I liked very much that program

Saying "it doesn't work" doesn't help. Posting details (error messages, whatever) might. If this application makes 'dd'-type copies you might be in luck, but I doubt it. There's a reason for many ClippyOS to favouring obfuscation, violating standards, and proprietary file formats. What does running 'file' on one of the .sna files return?

When I use the program's "Explore and Mapping" feature (to see the content of the files), nothing happens. No error message, nothing shows up.
