As far as I can tell, you'd better get binary copy of the same file. ASCII one won't help much here and can not be converted into a binary file.

Although, if I remember well, some really, really small .dmp files (for example, export of the Scott's EMP table) could have been imported although FTPed as ASCII files. But, again, maybe I don't remember that well.

I'm terribly sorry, but I really wouldn't know how to do that; so, you have ASCII .dmp file which is unusable, and a valid backup which is 2 months old. The best you can do is to restore your database with backup you have ...

I believe this situation will, in the future, make you think of someone's signature which says "Did you hug your backup today?".
