File extension .FBW

File description

HP has developed recovery software known as HP Recovery Manager. This software allows the user to create backup of the selected files.

The format used for backup file is FBW. This file format is used to save the contents of the file which is selected. HP uses compression technology to reduce the size of backup file. This allows the user to store more data in less amount of space. This format supports backup of both open and closed applications. Even the operating system can also be saved and recovered if system crash occurs. This file supports up to 8GB of size.

Description of the problem

If you have on your computer a .FBW file that you cannot open, you are in exactly the same situation as thousands of other people who have similar problems with this or any other unknown file.

There may be several reasons why you cannot open the file with .FBW extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .FBW file – that you do not have on your computer the appropriate program to open the file.

Solution

From the list below, select the appropriate program, install it and double click on the icon of a file that did not want to open - the problem with the .FBW file extension should be solved. However, if this does not happen, go back to the website to learn about other possible causes of the error, which have been described at the bottom of the website.

Other possible reasons why your .FBW file does not want to open

In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .FBW file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:

1. Incorrect version of the installed application

A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .FBW file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .FBW file, so download the update and check again.

2. Incorrect .FBW file association with the program

If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:

Right-click the .FBW file
Go to the "Open with" - then "Choose default program ..."
Locate the appropriate application
Click "OK"

3. The file is corrupt

It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
