Overview

Resolution

The default scripts are for security and proprietary reasons. This cannot be encrypted and shown.
One way of seeing the scripts being used by Kiwi CatTools is by reviewing the Debug Logs when a backup activity is ran.

- Enable the capture mode.
- Go to File > Enable Capture Mode. Run backup activity.

The Debug logs will be found in folder c:\program files\CatTools3\Debug by default.
The entries with W> are the commands that CatTools is sending to the device.
