What is a .ABU1 file?
An ABU1 file is a type of file specifically used by ASUS ZenFone devices. It is created by a program called ASUS Backup, which is an app designed for Android. This app helps users to save and later restore various types of data on their ASUS ZenFone phones. The data that can be backed up into an ABU1 file includes a wide range of information such as the phone's contact list, text messages (SMS), logs of incoming and outgoing calls, photos, videos, music, documents, personal settings of the phone, applications installed on the device, and even data related to those applications.
To open an ABU1 file, you would need to use the ASUS Backup app on an Android device, specifically an ASUS ZenFone. This app is the tool that can both create these backup files and restore the data from them back onto the phone.
It's important to note that ASUS Backup is designed to save data only from the external storage of the phone. This means if you have any data saved in the phone's internal memory that you want to back up, you must first manually move it to an external storage device, like an SD card, before it can be included in the backup.
When you use ASUS Backup to save your data, it creates the ABU1 file (or files) and places them in a folder named "ASUSBackup" on the SD card of your ZenFone. This is where all the backed-up data is stored. If you ever need to restore your data, ASUS Backup can open the ABU1 file from this location and bring back your data onto your ZenFone.
However, it's important to be aware that ASUS Backup has been discontinued. This means that the app is no longer being updated or officially supported. If you're using this app or planning to use it for backing up your data, you might want to consider looking for alternative backup solutions that are currently supported and updated to ensure your data remains safe.
