My back-up files are stored on two DVDs. I installed them back to my computer, but I can not open the files because they are in the fbw format. In fact, I can see each file when I open the folder, but the computer can not open them.

My backup files are with .fbw extension, but I can't open them at all. How can I open them?

If you are able to access a computer with XP you can open the files on the desktop and burn to a disk. HP Softhinks recovery program sucks. Also try changing the name of the extension for any disks beginning at disk number 10, for example,10.fbw should be renamed 0010.fbw, 11.fbw changed to 0011.fbw, etc...

This should be done if you try to recover files using the same computer. Make sure to run computer in safe mode to avoid program hanging up. Hope this helps.

It is my understanding that your backup must be on a DVD if you are using Vista on a HP computer with Softhinks recovery program. If you can backup again do but use DvD.

I was able to restore mine from the hard disk, however, I had to press CTL+ALT=DEL and saw that the program was waiting for my permission (but the window never popped up to the front for me). I clicked on the permission window in the Task Manager and then selected "Switch To" which brought the question window to the front. After I gave it permission, it worked fine.

I had good success restoring my files from a external HD. Make sure you delete any "SYSTEM RECOVERY FILE" Folders on the desktop and c:drive. Then reboot into safemode hitting F8 at startup. Then you can click on the backup.001.fbw to start the process. Be patient it takes a while!
Good Luck

I want to open my .fbw files. Can anyone help me?

I have had no luck with opening .fbw files after several online chats with HP. If anyone knows of any other solutions, please advise.

To OPEN these files!!!!

its lists them in order
001
002
etc..
when it gets to double digits you have to manually add a zero in front of them so there's 2 0's in front of each file

i.e.
change 010 to 0010... 011 to 0011 etc.. goodluck !!
