Convert UIBAK to BWI

Understanding UIBAK and BWI file formats

UIBAK files are backup files created by UltraISO, a popular CD/DVD image creation and editing tool. These files typically store backup copies of ISO or other disc image files, allowing users to restore or manage their disc images efficiently.

BWI files are BlindWrite CD/DVD image files, used by the BlindWrite software for creating exact copies of optical discs. BWI files are often used for disc duplication, backup, or emulation purposes.

Why convert UIBAK to BWI?

Converting a UIBAK file to BWI format may be necessary if you want to use the backup image with software that supports BlindWrite images, or if you need to burn or emulate the disc using tools compatible with BWI files.

How to convert UIBAK to BWI

Since UIBAK is a backup format from UltraISO, the typical process involves restoring the original disc image (usually ISO) from the UIBAK file, then converting that image to BWI format. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Restore the ISO from UIBAK:
   • Open UltraISO.
   • Go to File → Open and select your UIBAK file.
   • Extract or restore the original ISO image from the backup.
2. Convert ISO to BWI:
   • Download and install BlindWrite or use a compatible tool like PowerISO.
   • Open BlindWrite and use the Write or Convert feature to import the ISO file.
   • Choose BWI as the output format and start the conversion.
