How to open BCKUP file?
The main problem with Apple Time Machine Backup Format is that the BCKUP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file BCKUP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BCKUP 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 Time Machine
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Time Machine is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Time Machine into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BCKUP files.
Programs to open BCKUP file
Remember to download programs supporting BCKUP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Time Machine with BCKUP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BCKUP file to open in the Time Machine application, but you can set it manually. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BCKUP file with the Time Machine application.
Step 3. Update Time Machine to the latest version
If, however, after binding Time Machine with Apple Time Machine Backup Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Apple, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BCKUP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BCKUP file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BCKUP or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BCKUP 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 BCKUP 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BCKUP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BCKUP 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the BCKUP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BCKUP to close. However, some background programs may block the BCKUP file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
