What is a BKU file

BKU files mostly belong to Sage Timeslips. BKU files are backup containers used to preserve data from specific applications. They come in two main types:

Sage Timeslips Backup: These BKU files store time tracking and business data. They use a ZIP structure to compress the information. For more details, visit the Sage Timeslips webpage.

BioTek Instrument Backup: Some BKU files are used by lab instruments, such as those related to BioTek Gen5 and Bio-Rad iCycler IQ. They help in safeguarding measurement data. Additional information can be found at the Agilent website.

FilExt.com note: This file type is designed not for direct editing but for restoring crucial data using the respective application. You can sometimes open these files with a ZIP extraction tool to inspect the content, but full restoration is best done via the original software.
