7.0 backup format

is .bak the fileformat for SQL 7.0 backup formats...I apologize if i
sound too naive.
yes if you mean the extension for full backups
|||The extension of a file name (like .bak) doesn't say anything about the contents of a file. I can
have an excel file named "a.doc", for instance. Now, some applications might enforce a special
extension. SQL Server doesn't. There is a convention, however, to name database backup using "bak"
as extension.
