CK .bak.x.bak file recovery

[Gutmaw]

I'm sure this is a quick and easy one but I can't find it.   I somehow lost an old CK .esp, but i found a folder that still has the 10 "mod name".bak.x.back files saved (x being a number 0-9).  Can I use this to recover the .esp?  thx!

You're not giving a lot of info here so I will be as generic as possible.

 

If the backup files are just renamed versions of files that have been edited somehow, then yes, renaming the extension to *.esp should work.

However, I have no idea what CK.esp is, how it has been edited or with what, and whether those files are in fact previous versions of that file or just snapshots created during the process of them being modified.

 

If what you mean by CK .esp is any plugin created with the Creation Kit then the same answers apply. If they are just renamed backups, rename them correctly. If they aren't then you will need to find the originals.

 

Hope that helps somewhat.
