# Versioning
ESPSomfy-RTS backup files are assigned a version number so that over time, additional functionality can be added while still allowing older versions of the backup files to be restored to the device. Data and record elements in this document indicate when each of them were first seen in the wild.
## Layout
# Layout
The backup file has evolved over time but its structure and data layout has remained consistent. It consists of a header on the first line followed by one record per line. All data in the file is represented in text format for easy reading. Each data element is delimited by a comma or end of line to signify the end of the data element with spaces padding numeric values on the left and spaces padding text values on the right. In cases where the strings are variable in length the string is bound by quotes.
