How to open BKC file?

The most common problem when using Backup4all Catalog Format is that a specific BKC is not associated with the program. This causes the file BKC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BKC 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 Backup4all

The first step is to check if the computer has the Backup4all program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Backup4all in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support BKC files.

Programs to open BKC file

Remember to download programs supporting BKC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Backup4all with BKC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BKC file to open in the Backup4all application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 BKC file with the Backup4all program.

Step 3. Update Backup4all to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Backup4all program with the Backup4all Catalog Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Softland website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BKC 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 BKC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BKC 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BKC or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BKC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BKC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ability to automatically repair BKC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Softland help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BKC 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.
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. Copying the BKC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BKC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BKC file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BKC file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
