How to open NBI file?
An often recurring problem with Nero BackItUp Information Format is that NBI is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file NBI to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NBI 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 Nero BackItUp

Programs to open NBI file
Remember to download programs supporting NBI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Nero BackItUp with NBI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NBI file still does not use the Nero BackItUp program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NBI file with the Nero BackItUp application.
Step 3. Update Nero BackItUp to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Nero BackItUp program, it is possible that Nero BackItUp Information Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Nero AG website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NBI file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The NBI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NBI file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NBI or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected NBI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NBI file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NBI files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Nero help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NBI 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the NBI file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NBI to close. However, some background programs may block the NBI file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
