How to open NBAK file?
The most common problem when using Neat Backup is that a specific NBAK is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open NBAK, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NBAK file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Neat Software
In this case, you should first verify that the Neat Software application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Neat Software in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NBAK files.
Programs to open NBAK file
Remember to download programs supporting NBAK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Neat Software with NBAK files
If, despite the installed application, the NBAK file does not start in the Neat Software application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Neat Software application as the default for handling the NBAK file.
Step 3. Update Neat Software to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Neat Software program, it is possible that Neat Backup requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the The Neat Company page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NBAK file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the NBAK file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NBAK file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NBAK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NBAK file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NBAK file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting The Neat Company, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NBAK files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move NBAK to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the NBAK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
