How to open NWBAK file?

The most common problem when using Neat Backup is that a specific NWBAK is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that NWBAK files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NWBAK 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. This can be achieved by typing Neat Software into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file NWBAK.

Programs to open NWBAK file

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

Step 2. Create association of Neat Software with NWBAK files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NWBAK file still does not use the Neat Software program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NWBAK file with the Neat Software application.

Step 3. Update Neat Software to the latest version

If, however, after binding Neat Software with Neat Backup there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the The Neat Company website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NWBAK 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NWBAK file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NWBAK file. However, remember that not every infected NWBAK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of NWBAK 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NWBAK files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact The Neat Company
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NWBAK 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. It is best to move NWBAK to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the NWBAK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NWBAK to close. However, some background programs may block the NWBAK file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
