The .BKUP (Backup File) file extension contains copies of text documents, images, audio files, and other commonly used data types. It is typically saved on an external storage device or a cloud service. The file stores an older version of an obligatory document which can be used in the unlikely event that the main data is lost or corrupted. The backup file format is used by many software applications including Acronis True Image, Genie Timeline, and Arcserve Backup.
History of.BKUP
The BKUP file extension is quite common, however, its dates back to the early 1990s and has its roots in Microsoft DOS application backup files. When computing was still in its infancy in the early '90s, storage was expensive and hard drives were much smaller than modern day models. To save money, many programs simply created BKUP files as a means of quickly copying documents and other files from the hard drive to a less expensive medium (floppy disk).
Similar File Extensions
The .BKUP file Extension is commonly used as a backup but there are several similar file extensions which can also be used including .BAK,.TMP,.CFG

Programs for LINUX system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .BKUP) 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 .BKUP 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 .BKUP 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 .BKUP 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 .BKUP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .BKUP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .BKUP 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 .BKUP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .BKUP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .BKUP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
