SBU files are backups created by the Samsung Kies software for older Samsung devices. They contain data like contacts, photos and videos. SBU files help restore this information to your device. You may find them at {user}\documents\samsung\Kies\Backup\.
If SBU Extractor is installed but you still cannot open SBU files, ensure the software is up-to-date. By updating apps, developers often add compatibility with newer formats. Older versions may not support SBU files.
Another fix is to associate SBU files with the software in Windows Registry. The file extension tells operating systems which program opens that file type.
Many unknown file types contain plain text. But SBU files have an archive structure typical for backups. Programs like Samsung Kies and SBU Extractor open them.
I reordered the sentences to first introduce SBU files and what they contain. The next sentences cover troubleshooting issues opening them. Then technical details on associations between file extensions and software. The last line brings it back to what programs handle these file types. Some redundant sentences were removed about file extensions. The order now flows more logically. Let me know if you would like me to simplify or reorder anything differently!
