What is a FPBF file?
FPBF file is a Mac OS (version 10.04 or later) folder that contains files or aliases of said files to be burned to optical data storage. Usually stored to the desktop. This file format isn’t used as frequently because modern Mac computers are not equipped with CD or DVD drive. Creating FPBF files is possible through an option available in the context menu or through Finder app menu.
Once the FPBF folder has been created, one can drag or copy selected files to it. Then, by selecting ‘Burn/write’ option located in the top-right part of the window one can burn selected files to the inserted disc. Folder size information is located at the bottom bar of the open folder. An option in system setting enables user to burn files located in this folder automatically once empty disc has been placed in the drive.

How to open FPBF files
If you cannot open the FPBF file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports FPBF among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the FPBF file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the FPBF format files
The inability to open and operate the FPBF file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Mac OS X Finder Burnable Backup Archive file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a FPBF file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the FPBF file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the FPBF from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the FPBF format
- The FPBF file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the FPBF file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a FPBF file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the FPBF file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the FPBF file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the FPBF file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.FPBF) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected FPBF file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the FPBF file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. FPBF) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
