A word of warning, though. Be sure to scan any free software you download with a malware checker before running it on your computer.

If You Have Unknown Apple II File or Backup Installed

If one of these software packages are already installed on your PC, but it still won't work to open your BAK file, you might have to check that the file associations are correct. Right-click on the file, select "Open With..." and then select Unknown Apple II File or Backup. That will create an association between the BAK file extension and your chosen software.

Your BAK Might Be Corrupt

Finally, if you're still having issues opening your BAK file, download the file again or ask the sender to resend it. It's possible that your BAK file might be corrupt. As a last resort, contact the software developers to see if they may be of further assistance.
