The reason that the .SAV extention is used rather than .QDF was to add
another layer of protection against accidentally overwriting the original
.QDF file. This should not be an issue, since NA defaults to writing
backups to A:, but this ensures it won't happen even if the file paths get
set the same. When the user tries to rename the file to .QDF (or copy it
to .QDF) he or she is prompted yet again before the action is completed.
NA has a really good history of not losing log files. We like to keep it
that way...

Mike - You're correct! The QDF extension was all it needed.
