Answer Wiki:
The .bak file will get created where it is told to get created by the application or script. Check how this was set up. ----------- @ Tom, might be right. .bak, this is a copy of a file created by a programme as a precautionary measure. This type of file is not essential; it can be deleted but can be kept it as back-up. Though the Q is still confusing and require more details!

For what kind of system? And which C compiler? Are you asking about the compiler or about some C application that you run?

I would expect a .bak file to be some kind of backup version. I can imagine a C compiler generating backup versions of source code and even of an executable.
