What is
The most common use of the BUP file extension is as a backup file for the DVD IFO. Many programs like the InterVideo Win DVD, Apple DVD Studio Pro, and Nero ShowTime use this format as a backup for their IFOs.
The IFO files are used in storing different information on a DVD such as the tracks and subtitles. The BUP is helpful in case the IFO is corrupted or unavailable for use. The media player will instead use BUP format whenever the IFO is not available.
