I did a Google search on the error message (Wrong magic number) in your
stackexchange post and found these:
- https://lists.apple.com/archives/webobjects-dev/2010/Sep/msg00706.html
- https://lists.apple.com/archives/webobjects-dev/2010/Sep/msg00698.html
Which is are the only results I could find with that error message and
frontbase.
Did a bit more searching around importing backup to another platform, which
yielded the below:
"Can I export a database with WRITE ALL OUTPUT and then import it on
another platform?
Yes. When you perform a WRITE ALL OUTPUT you will be exporting into a flat
file that can be subsequently imported on any supported platform"
