What is a .WBX file?

A .WBX file is a type of backup file specifically used by a program called Winbox. Winbox is a tool designed for administrators (admins) to help them control and manage routers made by a company called MikroTik. These routers are often used in networks for homes or businesses to connect various devices to the internet or to each other.

The .WBX file contains saved information from an address book within the Winbox program. This address book is where the admin can store details about different devices or connections that the router is managing. For example, it might include names, IP addresses, and other important settings that help the router recognize and manage the devices on the network.

The file is usually named "addresses.wbx" and serves as a backup. This means it's a copy of the address book information that can be saved and used to restore the address book's contents if needed. For instance, if the router's settings are lost or if the admin wants to set up a new router with the same settings, the .WBX file can be used to quickly restore the address book information without having to re-enter all the details manually.

To open a .WBX file, you would typically use the MikroTik Winbox program itself. Since the file is designed to work with this specific software, Winbox knows how to read the .WBX file and use the information inside it to restore the address book. Other programs might not be able to open or understand the contents of a .WBX file because it is formatted in a way that only Winbox can interpret.
