What is an XBK file?
An .XBK file is a data backup or resource file used by several different software systems. Most commonly, it is an Automation Server Backup file or Building Operation server backup used by Schneider Electric EcoStruxure. It can also be a XenServer Backup File created by Citrix. Additionally, some educational and interactive whiteboard programs use the .XBK extension. For example, Promethean Activstudio uses it for resource bank files, and SMART Technologies uses it for SMART Notebook lesson files.
How to open XBK files?
Because .XBK files have multiple possible meanings, you must identify which program created the file before you can open it. You can restore an EcoStruxure backup using the Schneider Electric server administration software. If the file is a XenServer Backup File, you must use Citrix command-line tools to restore the data to your server. If the file contains lesson data, you can open it with SMART Notebook.
Identify and Inspect Unknown Files
If you receive an unknown file, viewer.online/xbk analyzes .XBK files to identify their exact format and creator software, shows which programs can open the file, and usually previews it. Many server backup files rely on standard archive technology. Because .XBK files use the known ZIP format, viewer.online/xbk can safely open and display them online, eliminating compatibility problems.
