How to open BFT file?
An often recurring problem with SmartWare Backup Transaction Definition is that BFT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file BFT 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 BFT 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 SmartWare

Programs to open BFT file
Remember to download programs supporting BFT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SmartWare with BFT files
If, despite the installed application, the BFT file does not start in the SmartWare 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 BFT file with the SmartWare application.
Step 3. Update SmartWare to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SmartWare program, it is possible that SmartWare Backup Transaction Definition requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SmartWare Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BFT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't 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 BFT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BFT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BFT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BFT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BFT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use SmartWare Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file BFT 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. It is best to move BFT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects 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 BFT to close. However, some background programs may block the BFT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
