The nbt file extension identifies a Nero BackItUp template file. The file stores information that Nero BackItUp uses when setting up or applying a backup template; it is not the backup data itself.
Nero BackItUp 2 automatically backs up files to selected storage media and can create bootable discs for restoring a system. It included full support for Windows Vista virtual folders and built-in SecurDisc data protection features.
This is a program-specific settings file associated with the Windows version of Nero BackItUp. It is intended for use within Nero BackItUp rather than as a general-purpose or interchangeable backup format.
Open an .nbt file with Nero BackItUp on Microsoft Windows. Start the program and use its template or backup settings functions to load the file; double-clicking it may not open a useful view.
An .nbt file is not intended to be read as a document, so a text editor will not normally display its settings in a meaningful form.
There is no standard conversion for a Nero BackItUp template file. The file contains program-specific backup settings rather than independent data that can be exported to a general file format.
To use the settings elsewhere, open the file in a compatible version of Nero BackItUp and recreate the backup template in the target software when necessary.
