I tried to use memoQ's backup/restore function to move a partially done project to a different computer. When I created the project's backup file, the only option was to save it as a .mqbk file. However, when I tried to open it in memoQ on the second computer it only gives the file type accepted as a .mqbkf file, and won't import the .mqbk file.

What am I missing here?

.mqbk (new format)
.mqbkf (old format, created by memoQ 9.12 or older)

Thanks Aug 25, 2023

Thanks, that was the problem. I downloaded and installed version 10.2.13 and that seems to have fixed the problem.
