The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AJL 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 CA ARCserve Backup

Programs to open AJL file
Remember to download programs supporting AJL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CA ARCserve Backup with AJL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AJL file still does not use the CA ARCserve Backup program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CA ARCserve Backup application as the default for handling the AJL file.
Step 3. Update CA ARCserve Backup to the latest version
If, however, after binding CA ARCserve Backup with CA ARCserve Backup Journal there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the CA Technologies website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AJL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to AJL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AJL file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected AJL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the AJL files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AJL files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting CA Technologies, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file AJL 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move AJL to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AJL file again. However, some background programs may block the AJL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
