What is BPA file?
The file in the BPA format belongs to the Backup Files category. It was designed by SimpleTech. Backup Files consists of 243 similar files. StorageSync Backup Archive is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.
How to open BPA file?
The main problem with StorageSync Backup Archive is that the BPA file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open BPA, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BPA 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 StorageSync
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that StorageSync is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name StorageSync in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BPA files.
Programs to open BPA file
Remember to download programs supporting BPA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of StorageSync with BPA files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BPA file still does not use the StorageSync 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. 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 BPA file with the StorageSync program.
Step 3. Update StorageSync to the latest version
If, however, after binding StorageSync with StorageSync Backup Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BPA file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BPA file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BPA file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BPA 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 BPA files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BPA file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BPA 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 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 BPA file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BPA to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BPA file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
