NovaBACKUP Script Format | NovaStor | Backup Files |
The NBK file extension is a script-driven backup definition file used by NovaBACKUP, a data and executable backup program. It provides users with options to customize the NovaBACKUP backup definitions for use in automated backups or system cloning, including allowing them to select particular partitions on a drive, as well as which folders, files, and applications should remain untouched during the process. The NBK file can be saved and edited at any time.
More Details
The NBK file format stores the user's selection of options through its scripting language. The script uses commands to direct the backup process. During the use of the NovaBACKUP, the program creates a default backup executable (.exe) for each individual script, allowing users to initiate the automated backup process by double-clicking it. It also allows users to save, organize, and run multiple backup scenarios. This evokes maximum protection from loss of data via automation.
Similar Formats
The NBK file extension is similar to other program-specific backup or executable definition formats such as .BAK, .BKF, and .GBK. Depending on the program settings selected by the user, these files may be compressed into other archives such as .ZIP, .TAR, or .RAR. For applications like NovaBACKUP that support system cloning when creating a backup image of an existing operating system, these files may be saved into system images such as .GHO or VMDK.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .NBK) 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 .NBK 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 .NBK 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 .NBK 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 .NBK extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .NBK file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .NBK 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 .NBK file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .NBK file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .NBK file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
