My .bak files have the wrong icon

If you open the .bak file from inside Cubase it should work fine. But I suspect if you double-click the file it will try to open it with Guitar Pro because that’s what Windows associates the file type with. You can right+click the file and use Open With to change the association. But you can only associate it with one program (or none like Prock) and the icon will reflect that choice.
