How to open NJI file?

The main problem with Nero Job Information Format is that the NJI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that NJI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NJI file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Nero BackItUp

The first step is to check if the computer has the Nero BackItUp program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Nero BackItUp in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NJI files.

Programs to open NJI file

Remember to download programs supporting NJI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Nero BackItUp with NJI files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NJI file to open in the Nero BackItUp application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NJI file with the Nero BackItUp application.

Step 3. Update Nero BackItUp to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Nero BackItUp program with the Nero Job Information Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Nero AG page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NJI file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NJI file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NJI file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NJI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NJI file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NJI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Nero
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NJI except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the NJI file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NJI to close. However, some background programs may block the NJI file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
