How to open BIFX file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BIFX 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 BeLight Get Backup

Programs to open BIFX file
Remember to download programs supporting BIFX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BeLight Get Backup with BIFX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BIFX file to open in the BeLight Get Backup 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 BIFX file with the BeLight Get Backup application.
Step 3. Update BeLight Get Backup to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the BeLight Get Backup program, it is possible that Get Backup Project requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BIFX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to BIFX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BIFX file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected BIFX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BIFX file. 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 BIFX files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BIFX 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 BIFX to a different directory.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BIFX file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
