How to open BUJ file?

The most common problem when using Personal Backup Saved Task is that a specific BUJ is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that BUJ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BUJ 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 Personal Backup

In this case, you should first verify that the Personal Backup application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Personal Backup into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file BUJ.

Programs to open BUJ file

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

Step 2. Create association of Personal Backup with BUJ files

If, despite the installed application, the BUJ file does not start in the Personal Backup application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BUJ file with the Personal Backup application.

Step 3. Update Personal Backup to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Personal Backup program, it is possible that Personal Backup Saved Task requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the J. Rathlev, IEAP, Kiel University page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BUJ file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BUJ file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BUJ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BUJ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BUJ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BUJ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting J. Rathlev, IEAP, Kiel University, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BUJ 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move BUJ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BUJ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BUJ to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
