<div>An update for those who have asked about extracting database records directly from DRS backups. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">I've had some success reading</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> BLOB data from Informix ontape files, so we can read flat
files from the TARs as well as files stored as BLOB fields in Informix</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">. It's working well enough to extract prompt & script files from </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">a sample UCCX 9 backup. Definitely not stable
enough to release, but it's getting there.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></div>
<div>The next step is to design an interface which allows users to open DRS backups and browse the contents. Think DRS Message Fisher, but for reading UCCX and CUCM backups as well. Since the tools are free and I can't exactly afford a design team, this is
where I could use some assistance from the community.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please let me know if you're interested in providing some creative input on a UI. Have an idea about how you'd want to browse and extract data? Put it in a Visio. Sketch it out in MS Paint. Scribble it on a napkin. Whatever works. Have some C# experience
and want to create a mockup? Bless you. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">O</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">ne day you'll </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">be an unsung hero to some poor soul who accidentally overwrites the wrong script in UCCX and
relies on your work to save their bacon.</span></div>
