Convert AWT to BAK~

Understanding the awt and bak file formats

AWT files are typically associated with Ability Write Template files, used by the Ability Office suite for word processing templates. These files store document formatting, layout, and content structure for creating new documents based on a predefined style.

BAK files are backup files that serve as copies of original files, often created automatically by software to prevent data loss. The .bak extension is generic and can be used for backups of any file type, not just documents.

Why convert awt to bak?

Converting an AWT file to a BAK file is essentially creating a backup copy of your template. This is useful for safeguarding your templates against accidental changes or deletions.

How to convert awt to bak

Since BAK is a backup format and not a specific file type, the conversion process is straightforward: you simply make a copy of your AWT file and change its extension to .bak. This does not alter the file's content, but designates it as a backup.

Step-by-step conversion process

1. Locate your AWT file in your file explorer.
2. Right-click the file and select Copy, then Paste to create a duplicate.
3. Rename the copied file, changing the extension from .awt to .bak (e.g., template.awt → template.bak).
4. Confirm the change if prompted by your operating system.

Best software for awt to bak conversion

Since this is a simple file copy and rename operation, you do not need specialized conversion software. However, if you want to automate backups or manage multiple templates, you can use file management tools like Total Commander or FreeCommander for batch renaming and copying.

Summary

Converting AWT to BAK is a manual process of copying and renaming the file. No data is changed, and the file remains usable as a template if renamed back to .awt. This method is ideal for creating quick backups of your Ability Write templates.
