The BKP file extension is used for backup files. Backup files are created as copies of important data to secure its integrity, in case of hardware or software failure, system corruption, or any other type of unexpected problem. A BKP file allows computer users to restore their systems back to the way they were before any damage was done. A BKP file usually contains an exact copy of all data that was specified by the user to be backed-up.
Creation and Utilization of a BKP File
Software applications such as Apple's Time Machine, EaseUS Todo Backup, and Paragon Hard Disk Manager create BKP files that can be used to make a complete system restore. BKP files can also be used to back up individual files, folders, or entire disk partitions. Users can use BKP files from one version of an application or operating system (OS) to upgrade or migrate to another. However, depending on the type of file and operating system being upgraded or migrated, the new OS may not recognize the backed up data.
Similar File Extensions
Other file extensions similar to a BKP are .BAK, .TIB, .ZIP, .QBB, and .RDX.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .BKP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .BKP extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .BKP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .BKP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .BKP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .BKP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .BKP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .BKP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .BKP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .BKP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
