What is a .RPP-bak file?
RPP-BAK is an automatic backup of a Reaper project - a copy of the .rpp session the REAPER digital audio workstation saves so you can recover earlier work.
- Did you know
- Reaper quietly writes a .rpp-bak each time you save, so a corrupted or mistakenly overwritten session can usually be rolled back a step.
- REAPER is a low-cost, highly customisable DAW from Cockos, known for its tiny installer and honour-system licensing.
- An .rpp project, including its backup, is plain text, so a session can be inspected or even hand-edited to fix a problem.
- What Analyser reads
- A catch-all for rare and niche formats Analyser still identifies from their bytes: 3D caches and scans (Alembic ABC, FARO FLS/FWS), camera and design data (ARRIRAW ARX, Capture One masks, CATIA CGR), JBIG codestreams, firmware dumps (Binwalk), draw.io diagrams, OptimFROG DualStream audio, RTTTL ringtones, LaTeX style and class files, Sun Raster and Truevision TGA images, MPEG-2 streams, PVR/DVB recordings, Tiled tilesets, Windows Prefetch and Reaper project backups.
- Depth of analysis
- .RPP-bak is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .RPP-bak file
- Drag a .RPP-bak file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
