Need help on Dude 2.2 - crash

Hi,
We have a very old instance of Dude.
It runs on a virtualized Win Xp Sp3 pc and the verison is 2.2.
A few days ago it crashed and till then if I try to start it, the pc start to import db, ram usage increasing and then drops (pic attached).
The problem is that its from before 3.6 and its database file is a .dat. I tried but could not import it into any 6.x or 7.x dude server.

Any suggestion about how to save the config inside are welcome!

It would be nice to be able to convert .dat into an .xml export by some stuff.

(Its offtopic, but sure will upcome: why we still use(d) 2.2? Because of outlines that are disabled in any newer version, but important in visualization.)

The solution is simple, reload the latest virtual machine backup.

Because in 14 years you made at least one backup, right?

It runs under Virtualbox. I have a backup, but a bit older and had works in last 10 days that I don't want to loose.

Thx.
