A file extension BAK on DOS systems indicates that the file is a backup type file. BAK files are generated by many different applications as a part of their autosave process. To delete old files with the BAK file format, search them out individually and delete them by date. BAK is an extra attribute that is added to standard programming language or system. In DOS and other operating systems it occurs as one or a number of letters at the end of the filename.
File formats come after a period and are used to indicate the information contained in the file. For instance, files that end in .COM are used to describe command files therefore; the COM suffix is used to indicate that the file is a command file. On the Macintosh environment file extension BAK is associated to a program used to guide systems capabilities. Thus, files using this format reside in the format folder and are loaded into memory once the system is initiated.
Since many programs use the BAK file extension it is vitally important that a user determine the creator application. In this way, one is able to avoid inappropriate application formats. To be able to identify the creator application, one could search out the file location. This could act as an important pointer while trying to identify the creator application. Additionally, the date and time the file was created is also an ideal pointer while looking to identify the creator application.
