Open FBW File

The FBW file is a backup file created by HP Recovery Manager, a program used to back up and restore files.

The FBW file contains compressed files, and is commonly used to back up and restore personal files to and from external media.

FBW files use as a convention, an incremental counter at the end of the file name, like this: backupXXX.fbw, where XXX is the count, for example, 001, 002.

Typically, FBW files are accompanied by an executable file called backup.001.exe that restores the backup files when they are opened.

FBW files are known to have incorrect naming conventions for backup files starting with number 10 and higher in the backup sequence.

This can be solved, just adding an additional "0" in the sequence number, for example, changing the name of backup.010.fbw to backup.0010.fbw.
