Troubleshooting Problems Opening NBI Files


Common Problems Opening NBI Files

Nero Backitup Not Present

When you double-click your NBI file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Nero Backitup isn't installed on your PC. Your operating system cannot associate your NBI with Nero Backitup, so double-clicking the file won't work.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens NBI files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Outdated Nero Backitup

Your Nero BackItUp Information File file is incompatible with Nero Backitup because you might have the wrong version installed. You will need to download a newer version of Nero Backitup if you don't have the right version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


Tip: Investigate your NBI file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Conclusion: The majority of NBI file opening issues are due to not having the correct Nero Backitup version installed.
