What is NMBD file?

The file in the NMBD format belongs to the Document Files category. The author of this format is The Samba Team. In addition to this file, the Document Files category includes 574 related files. Samba Log is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use Samba to handle this file. This is a program created by The Samba Team.

How to open NMBD file?

The main problem with Samba Log is that the NMBD file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that NMBD files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NMBD 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 Samba

The first step is to check if the computer has the Samba program installed. To do this, enter the name Samba into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NMBD with Samba. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NMBD files.

Programs to open NMBD file

Remember to download programs supporting NMBD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Samba with NMBD files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NMBD file still does not use the Samba program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NMBD file with the Samba program.

Step 3. Update Samba to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Samba program with the Samba Log file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the The Samba Team website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NMBD file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the NMBD file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NMBD or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NMBD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of NMBD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NMBD file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting The Samba Team, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NMBD 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the NMBD file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NMBD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NMBD file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
