.BKP File Extension

Backup file that may be created by various programs; often created automatically to provide a backup in case the original file becomes corrupted; the ".bkp" extension is often appended to the file's original extension and may need to be removed in order for the file to open correctly.

Backup files most commonly use the .BAK extension.

Backup file created by Zapback, a simple Windows backup and restore utility; contains an uncompressed copy of the original file, but with the string " - Backup.bkp" appended to the original filename.

BKP files can only be used for creating backups of single files.

A BKP file is a data file created by Backup Your Mobile, a backup app for Android devices. It contains a portion of a user's backup data. Backup Your Mobile uses BKP files when restoring users' backups, which do not themselves have a file extension.

For example, if a Backup Your Mobile user creates a backup that backs up the apps on their device, Backup Your Mobile will also create a BKP file that contains a list of those applications. Backup Your Mobile uses this list to restore the user's applications, as it restores the associated backup.

NOTE: Artur Jaszcyzk discontinued the Backup Your Mobile app.

BKP files are not meant to be opened. However, because BKP files are plain text files, you can open and view them with any text editor. Keep in mind that editing a BKP file may prevent you from being able to restore Backup Your Mobile backups.
