| | Posted: | | | | I did a Backup of my Database and it ended up being a Phonebook File instead of a dpb file.
When I back it up it says that it will be saving it as a dpb file.
I recently upgraded to Version 3.1.1 Build 1171. |

| | Posted: | | | | It probably is that the extension DPB is associated with PhoneBook on your PC. Have you tried bringing it into DVD Profiler?

| | Posted: | | | | Do you have DataPilot cell phone sync installed? If so it will associate the .dpb extension to itself. Or have you recently installed any software that interacts with a cell phone?
The file most likely has a .dpb extension, Windows will hide "known" extensions by default and only display the filetype associated with that extension.
Double click on My Computer, select the Tools menu, then Folder Options in the dropdown. Select the File Types tab, scroll down to DPB and click to highlight it. This will display information, in the area below, about the application that "owns" the extension.
You can still backup to and restore from the file with DVDProfiler, but clicking on it will attempt to open it with the default application. | | | | Registered: February 10, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | In the first post it was said the extension is .dpb, which is correct.
As Gerri correctly pointed out, the "Phonebook File" reference is simply a file association, required for double-clicking. The Backup is not to be used with DVD Profiler via double-click (not even sure right now if DVDP sets a file association for that in the first place) and you need to open it from the software. For that, it doesn't matter what Windows thinks the file belongs to, just open it and everything should be fine. (Like Gerri asked, have you actually tried opening it from within DVDP?) | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.
