About NB7 files

The .nb7 file extension represents a proprietary backup archive primarily created by NTI Backup Now (specifically version 7) or NovaStor NovaBACKUP. These files are used to store compressed, and often encrypted, copies of user data, system files, or entire hard drive partitions for disaster recovery. Users frequently encounter severe limitations with this format. Because .nb7 is a closed, proprietary file type, it causes aggressive software lock-in. You cannot simply double-click the archive to browse your recovered files in standard operating systems like Windows or macOS. If your software subscription expires, or if the original program becomes obsolete and incompatible with modern hardware, your backed-up data becomes completely inaccessible. Standard web browsers and basic extraction utilities cannot parse the proprietary compression dictionaries or metadata headers used inside. When attempting to recover data, the ideal goal is to extract the .nb7 contents into universally supported archive formats like ZIP or TAR, or to extract the individual raw files directly. Unfortunately, this file format is notoriously difficult to open or convert. Standard online converters universally fail to process these archives because the exact encoding algorithms are heavily guarded by the software developers. In most scenarios, only the original software can properly read, decrypt, or export the data. Despite these restrictions, convert.guru serves as a highly practical workaround. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Our system can inspect the internal file headers and extract raw readable text strings. If our deep analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded compression method that is not heavily encrypted, partial viewing or data extraction may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your NB7 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted NBD, ICA and TLS files.

The NB7 Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our NB7 converter.
