Tips to open BKUP file
Can't open the BKUP file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open BKUP files as well as a list of programs that support BKUP files.
BKUP file extension
The BKUP file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the BKUP files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the BKUP file on each system platform.
What is BKUP file?
The file in the BKUP format belongs to the Backup Files category. Additionally, the Backup Files category contains 243 of other files. Backup Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Linux systems, unfortunately not on others.
How to open BKUP file?
The main problem with Backup Format is that the BKUP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open BKUP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BKUP 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 cPanel
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that cPanel is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name cPanel in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support BKUP files.
Programs to open BKUP file
Remember to download programs supporting BKUP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of cPanel with BKUP files
If, despite the installed application, the BKUP file does not start in the cPanel application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BKUP file with the cPanel program.
Step 3. Update cPanel to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the cPanel program, it is possible that Backup Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BKUP 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BKUP file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BKUP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected BKUP 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 BKUP files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BKUP files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BKUP 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the BKUP file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BKUP file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
