Extract text from Ashampoo Backup projects (ABKPRJ)
To convert ABKPRJ projects to another format, you need Ashampoo Backup Pro or other Backup software.
To convert other file formats to the "Backup Configuration File" file type, you need software like Ashampoo Backup Pro or a similar tool.
The .abkprj file is a proprietary backup project file created by Ashampoo Backup Pro. It functions as a configuration profile that stores the specific settings for a backup task. This includes the source directory paths, destination drives, scheduling rules, and compression preferences. It does not contain the actual backed-up files.
The main disadvantage of the .abkprj format is that it is proprietary and exclusively locked into the Ashampoo ecosystem. You cannot import an .abkprj file into competing backup software like Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office or Macrium Reflect. Users often need to convert or extract data from this file simply to migrate their backup rules to a new system or to document their disaster recovery plans. Converting it to standard text formats like TXT, XML, or JSON is highly recommended for cross-platform documentation, though the complex internal software logic will be lost.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because it is a closed, proprietary settings file. Often only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ABKPRJ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our ABKPRJ converter.
