I replied to a year old post but maybe noone saw it since it didn't go to the top of the list, so i'm reposting it here. I need to open a bck file. Is there any tool out there that works in either windows, ubuntu or mac that can open a bck file? I really need to open this file. can anyone help? thanx

Maybe help here? http://filext.com/file-extension/BCK

sofia, A BCK file on OpenVMS is often, but not always, created using the BACKUP utility. Offhand, I do not know of any up to date programs that can process these files on non-OpenVMS systems. However, file types are merely a convention, not a guarantee. I strongly suggest dumping the first few blocks of the file in hexadecimal/ASCII to verify that the file was, indeed, produced by BACKUP. If that is the case, there are a variety of solutions including: VAX/ALPHA simulators, friendly OpenVMS sites, or one of the public access sites on the Internet that may be of assistance; depending upon size, costs, and other considerations. - Bob Gezelter, http://www.rlgsc.com
