The NBF file extension represents a backup archive file created by NTI Corporation’s Backup Now program. This backup software is designed for CD-RW drives. NBF files store user documents, pictures, and other sensitive data as a backup archive. These backup files can later be restored if the original files get damaged or accidentally deleted.
Typical NBF filenames are sequential, like “backup_001.nbf,” “backup_002.nbf,” etc. To restore files from an NBF backup, use the “Restore” option in Backup Now’s View panel. NBF files are binary format and can only be opened with the Backup Now software. Users can download Backup Now from NTI Corporation’s website to access NBF files. The backup archives can also be password protected for added security.
NBF is a proprietary file format developed by NTI Corporation specifically for their Backup Now program. It is used to store backup copies of files and folders selected by the user. The NBF file extension is associated with the Backup Now backup management application. Alternative software cannot directly open or convert NBF archives, so Backup Now is required for restore operations.
