| DBASE IV Multiple Index File Backup | dataBased Intelligence | Backup Files |
The MBK ( MBK) file format is a database backup indexing system developed by Borland dBASE IV, a popular database platform. It was later enhanced and included as an additional feature in other products of the Borland Internationalline. The MBK format is used to store and maintain multiple, indexed databases allowing for quick access of data for back up and recovery purposes.
The MBK file extension serves as a backup indexing system to easily access multiple database files that are stored in DBF format with associated indexes sorted in NDX, NTX, or CDX file types. The MBK format is designed to simplify the task of maintaining a complete backup or snapshot of a database within a single file, often referred to as an archive or library. This feature also allows multiple versions of a database, along with associated index files, to be maintained and securely backed up without the need for storing individual files.
Benefits Of Using The MBK File Extension
The MBK file format provides numerous benefits to users including efficient backup and recovery of data, version control, and flexibility when dealing with large databases. Additionally, it eliminates the need for extensive disk storage and backup time by creating snapshots of large databases into a single MBK format. It also eliminates the issue of manual synchronization when using an array of multiple versioned databases.

Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MBK) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .MBK extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .MBK file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .MBK extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .MBK extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MBK file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MBK file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .MBK file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MBK file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .MBK file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
