How to open BK6 file?
An often recurring problem with Corel WordPerfect Document Backup is that BK6 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file BK6 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 BK6 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 WordPerfect Office
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WordPerfect Office is installed on the computer.

Programs to open BK6 file
Remember to download programs supporting BK6 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with BK6 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BK6 file to open in the WordPerfect Office 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 WordPerfect Office application as the default for handling the BK6 file.
Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version
If, however, after binding WordPerfect Office with Corel WordPerfect Document Backup there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Corel Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BK6 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BK6 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BK6 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BK6 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BK6 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BK6 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BK6 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the BK6 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BK6 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
