The BFX file extension is associated with SmartWare, a Microsoft Windows backup application. A BFX file contains backup-related definitions used by the software to configure backup operations.
The file is a SmartWare settings file rather than a general-purpose document or backup archive.
Open the BFX file with SmartWare on Microsoft Windows. The application reads this type of file as part of its backup configuration rather than treating it as a document for manual viewing.
A BFX file is a SmartWare-specific backup definition. Use SmartWare to work with the associated backup settings rather than a general-purpose file converter.
