What is BKZ file?
The BKZ file has been categorized as Backup Files. It was designed by NCH Software. Backup Files consists of 243 similar files. FileFort Backup is most often found on 1 operating systems.

How to open BKZ file?
The main problem with FileFort Backup is that the BKZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file BKZ 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 BKZ 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 FileFort
The first step is to check if the computer has the FileFort program installed. This can be achieved by typing FileFort into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file BKZ.
Programs to open BKZ file
Remember to download programs supporting BKZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FileFort with BKZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BKZ file still does not use the FileFort program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 FileFort application as the default for handling the BKZ file.
Step 3. Update FileFort to the latest version
If, however, after binding FileFort with FileFort Backup there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the NCH Software Pty Ltd page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BKZ 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. Usually this applies to BKZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BKZ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BKZ 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 BKZ file. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BKZ files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting NCH Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BKZ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the BKZ file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the BKZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BKZ file again. However, some background programs may block the BKZ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
