How to open NBF file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NBF 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 NTI Backup Now

Programs to open NBF file
Remember to download programs supporting NBF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NTI Backup Now with NBF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NBF file to open in the NTI Backup Now application, but you can set it manually. 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the NTI Backup Now application as the default for handling the NBF file.
Step 3. Update NTI Backup Now to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the NTI Backup Now program, it is possible that Backup NOW! Backup Archive Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the NTI Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NBF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the NBF file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NBF file. Sometimes virus-infected NBF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NBF files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NBF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use NTI Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NBF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the NBF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NBF file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NBF file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
