How to open BP4 file?
The most common problem when using SmartWare Backup Project is that a specific BP4 is not associated with the program. This causes the file BP4 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 BP4 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 SmartWare

If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BP4 with SmartWare. Below is a list of programs that support the file BP4.
Programs to open BP4 file
Remember to download programs supporting BP4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SmartWare with BP4 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BP4 file to open in the SmartWare 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BP4 file with the SmartWare program.
Step 3. Update SmartWare to the latest version
If, however, after binding SmartWare with SmartWare Backup Project there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the SmartWare Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BP4 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 BP4 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BP4 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BP4 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BP4 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BP4 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BP4 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use SmartWare Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BP4 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. It is best to move BP4 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BP4 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BP4 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
