[BGedco2022]

Hello All,

We need to read historic data from database backup of GEO SCADA 2021.

How can we do that?

Thanks in advance

Depends on what you want to do with the data once you've read it really.

There are tools that get installed with Geo SCADA such as scxcmd that has a hisdump parameter. Point it to the relevant .hrd file and you get the data as CSV. You'll need to do it for each file one at a time but it is easily scripted, and might give you the data in the required format.

Given its a backup you could always just load it on a test/development system and see? Even without a valid licence you can start it up, just not create any more points and it'll shut down every 2 hours.
