Hi everyone! :)
After my last shooting raw video on my 5d mark3 I detected BACKUP.RAW files (one per card) among other regular raw files.
And another thing: some of my raw files did not open with raw2dng program >:(
So i wonder if BACKUP.RAW file have somthing to do wath this? How can I solve the problem of no opening with raw2dng?
And anyway what for BACKUP.RAW file?

My advice would be not to delete anything off of the card until you have converted all of the files you need into a usable format.

Not sure what backup.raw does exactly, but when in doubt I leave it alone.
