What is an bup file?

A BUP file is a backup file that is typically created as a copy of another file or directory. It is used to store a duplicate copy of important data in case the original file becomes corrupt or lost. BUP files are commonly created by various backup software programs and can be stored on a local hard drive, external storage device, or cloud storage service.

BUP files can be opened and accessed using the program that created them or a compatible backup software tool. They may contain a complete copy of the original file or directory structure, including all subdirectories, files, and metadata. BUP files are often used for disaster recovery and data protection purposes to ensure that important information is not lost in the event of a hardware failure or other unforeseen circumstances.
