Utility to Read QIC files? - Veritas Backup Exec

Hi ... is there any utility out there that will allow me to open BE 4.2
..QIC files, extract and restore files from them, without having to load up
Backup Exec? A utility to do so from DOS?

Are the .QIC files in a proprietary format, unreadable by anything except
Backup Exec?

Thanks in advance.

QIC is a proprietary format. Nothing else will read them.

PLEASE!!

1/ Install a virtual machine (Virtual Box i use)
2/ Install Windows 98/95/ME
Use the instructions as you install a usual OS..
3/ Copy your .qic files to a folder on guest machine (lets say XP..)
4/ Open Virtual machine (windows 98), make from the settings visible the previous folder
5/ copy - paste the .qic files to your v.machine
6/ Run Restore procedure from v.machine.
7/ Copy - paste the produced (extracted) files to guest machine.

Problem solved!
