NBAK is an extension given to files related to a program called Neat Software. The software was developed by The Neat Company for operating systems released by Microsoft and Apple. NBAK is a file that backs up documents scanned with Neat Software. These can be copies of documents that the user can recover if originals are unexpectedly lost. Neat Software allows you to easily scan and manage documents.
When you double-click an NBAK file to open it, Windows examines the filename extension. If Windows does not recognize the extension, you receive a message that there is no default app associated with the NBAK file type. To open an NBAK file, you need the program that created it, like Neat Software. Within Neat Software, you can restore a database using the Offline Restore tool and navigating to your NBAK file.
The NBAK extension was originally developed for Neat Software. NBAK files fall under the Archive Files category. There are over 600 file types with the NBAK extension used across operating systems. Other programs can also open NBAK files. To fix problems opening an NBAK file, you may need to update the application you normally use for that file type.
