How to open ARZ file?

The main problem with MySQL Archive Storage Engine Data is that the ARZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that ARZ 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 ARZ 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 MySQL Enterprise Backup

In this case, you should first verify that the MySQL Enterprise Backup application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing MySQL Enterprise Backup into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support ARZ files.

Step 2. Create association of MySQL Enterprise Backup with ARZ files

If, despite the installed application, the ARZ file does not start in the MySQL Enterprise Backup application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ARZ file with the MySQL Enterprise Backup program.

Step 3. Update MySQL Enterprise Backup to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the MySQL Enterprise Backup program, it is possible that MySQL Archive Storage Engine Data requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Oracle Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ARZ 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ARZ file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ARZ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ARZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ARZ files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ARZ files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Oracle Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ARZ 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. If possible, you can try to move the ARZ file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ARZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ARZ to close. However, some background programs may block the ARZ file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
