Its the one thats the same as your CalID, with no digits after it. Most of us save our Backups with the the extension .ori instead of .drg.

You can tell by looking at the name of the file. The original backup will be 8 numbers, then 2 letters (aa, ab, ac, ad, ae, af, ag, ah) and the extension drg. Will be about 72kb in size.

I don't have the software to open up any of the DiabloSport files, so sending it won't do any good.

it's 56Kb in size, what the problem is when I first plugged in the tool it uploaded some thing to the car's ECU and the tool did not save my factory tune when I done a performance tune so I had to re-do it again and the second time it saved the factory turn. I need to know if the saved file is my factory tune or a performance tune.

My custom tunes are smaller like that (60kb). What I'd do is save it again. Go into DS Downloader, Get Tune File from Tool and hit Cancel to save the Original tune.

The tool won't save a Custom tune as the Original, so when it saves the backup, that really is the Original Tune.
