What is FBK file?
The FBK file extension is associated with the Microsoft Dynamics NAV, which is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software package for businesses. FBK stands for ‘final backup’ and is a snapshot of the business’s data taken at a point in time. It’s a compressed backup of the Navision database used as an archive to save the business’s data and can be updated or restored from if needed. [ ⏩ ] FBK file extension
How to convert the file from FTW to FBK?
To successfully convert the FTW file to FBK, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.FTW). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case FBK (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than FBK).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. FTW to FBK. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting FTW files to FBK files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension FBK, while before this step we had the FTW file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new FBK file, or not.
