From the man page, to view information from a
file at a later time:

examples:
Review disk and tape activity from that period later:

sar -d -f yourfile

Review cpu utilization on a multi-processor system later:

sar -u -M -f yourfile

As Michael said, the different sar variations will allow you to view your files in the proper format. If you ever have a question about how to read a file, type in:

file sa01
you get back
sa01: awk program text

You know that if it is not ascii test, you will not be able to properly read the file.
