How to Open .Bac File

BAC is a file format that was used by an application called Avantrix Backup Plus to store backed-up data. However, Windows Vista and Windows 7 cannot support this application, so you cannot use it to open BAC files. Fortunately, you can change the file extension on a BAC file from .bac to .zip, and then use a file decompression tool to view its contents. Here is the instruction.

 

1. Click “Start,” enter “Show or Hide File Extensions” and press enter.
