That I cannot say... my statements are just conjecture and guess since I haven't been able to reproduce it.
TestComplete Help does say the following concerning the error message.
So, it still does come down to a problem in writing the file. Something you can try doing is manually deleting the file before you open TestComplete and see if the problem occurs again... it may simply be a corrupt BAK.
TestComplete Help does say the following concerning the error message.
When you are modifying project items and their child elements, TestComplete can make a backup copy of project item files. For instance, when you modify script code and save the changes, TestComplete saves the older version of the script file to the file having the same name and the .bak extension. If TestComplete was unable to back up a file, it displays this error message to inform you about the error. Most possible causes for the error is that the .bak file already exists and it is locked by another application, or TestComplete does not have write permissions to save the file.
