What is a BKUP file?

BKUP files mostly belong to Backup Utility. BKUP files are backup files created by different systems. They are not a single standard format but can come in several types.

Image Backup: Many BKUP files use the JFIF format to store image backups. These are often produced by software dealing with JPEG images. More info is available at JPEG.org.

Toshiba Backup: Some BKUP files are generated by Toshiba Backup Utility. They serve as a copy of system or application data for recovery.

SQLite Database Backup: Other BKUP files come from SQLite systems. They function as write-ahead log files that help in database recovery. Further details can be found at SQLite.org.

FilExt.com notes: Different types require different applications to open and view them. For image backups, use an image viewer or rename the file to a common image extension like .jpg. For Toshiba files, the Toshiba utility is needed, and for SQLite backups, use SQLite tools.

BKUP format details:

Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the BKUP files is as follows:

The BKUP file extension is not found very often and is mainly used by one program with a specific format. The following file formats are most commonly found in BKUP files:

• 65% of all BKUP files save the data in JFIF file format. JFIF is short for JPEG File Interchange Format. It is a bitmap graphic that uses JPEG compression. They consist of unreadable binary data. BKUP files can be up to 620 KB in size, but are often around 31 KB - 300 KB. It is a modern file type. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as JFIF. A common filename is wallpaper.bkup.
• 9% of all BKUP files have the same signature TOSHIBABKUP2017. They consist of unreadable binary data. The file size is in the range of 70 MB to 10 GB. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as TOSHIBABKUP2017.

The remaining 26% of all BKUP files are different files with different signatures. Files like these are sometimes linked to yscdata, sqlite, baba or cryptomator.
