A DKS file may also be a settings file created by Symantec DataKeeper, a backup utility bundled with Symantec PartitionMagic. Because PartitionMagic and DataKeeper are both discontinued, DKS files are obsolete.
More Information
Symantec DataKeeper was a program that could be used to schedule regular file backups. It came bundled with PartitionMagic, which was a hard disk drive partitioning program. DataKeeper allowed users to save their backup settings as DKS files.
Symantec released the last version of PartitionMagic in 2004, and the company stopped supporting the program in 2009. As a result, it is unlikely that you will be able to acquire DataKeeper if you do not already own it.
How to open a DKS file
If you still have access to Symantec DataKeeper (Windows), you may be able to load your DKS file in that program. Because the type of data DKS files contain is unknown, whether other programs can open them is also unknown.
