Bad move, choosing an app which locks you in.

Leaving aside those backup formats. does Bank Genie have any output 
capability?   If so, in what format?

It might be worthwhile looking at a linux program called wine, which can 
be useful for running Windows programs on Linux, assuming Bank Genie
is a Windows app.

Generally, one installs wine, then use it to install Bank Genie, which 
you then run as normal.

Finally, it might be worthwhile trying to open your backup files in a 
text editor to see if anything useful shows.
