Barracuda Firewall Backup PAR file - Is it a text file?

Hi, getting ready to do some analysis on Barracuda F600 and F400 devices. Manual mentions that a backup creates a PAR file. I don't have access to these devices yet, does anyone know if the PAR file is plain text? Can I open with notepad++ ? If not, is there a way to export config to csv? TIA!
