Notepad++ any context reader, even notepad can open them lol.

.bak is a backup of the original file so u restore it if needed.

ok, and how to restore original file via notepad++/notepad please?
I did some research, but I'm no expert...
I'm trying to learn on my own but I still need help on one basic thing...

Thank you for your answer Mr. Ketchup

Simply rename the file extension to what it was.

great Thank you very much you are a god for me.
but it is not necessary to change the encoding system? because it gives me weird characters

You would restore it back to it's original file extension.

Not sure why this is so complicated for you or why your making it more complicated then it is.

If the files is .exe.bak then rename it to .exe just like if its .txt.bak then its .txt

 

[Havo]

for example I take ACCOUNT_DBF.bak I save it as .txt but that does not change anything, I restore it in .sql and there is a change but my database still cannot read it.
