DBK File Complications
Common Problems Opening DBK Files
WinRAR Disappeared
When you double-click your DBK file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to WinRAR missing in %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your DBK with WinRAR, so double-clicking the file won't work.
Tip: When another DBK application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Your Sony Ericsson Mobile Phone Backup File file was probably created by a newer release of WinRAR than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your DBK file and clicking "Properties".
Conclusion: The majority of DBK file opening issues are due to not having the correct WinRAR version installed.
