What is CBK file?
The CBK file has been categorized as Backup Files. In addition to this file, the Backup Files category includes 243 related files. Backup Configuration Format 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. The main program that supports this format is InterSystems Cache. This was created by InterSystems Corporation. Alternatively, you can use 2 other programs. Enterprise-Managed, Delphi will apply when it is not possible to use InterSystems Cache.
How to open CBK file?
An often recurring problem with Backup Configuration Format is that CBK is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that CBK files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CBK 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 InterSystems Cache
The first step is to check if the computer has the InterSystems Cache program installed. To do this, enter the name InterSystems Cache into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CBK with InterSystems Cache. Below you will find a list of applications that support CBK files.
Programs to open CBK file
Remember to download programs supporting CBK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of InterSystems Cache with CBK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CBK file still does not use the InterSystems Cache program, it means no 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. 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 InterSystems Cache application as the default for handling the CBK file.
Step 3. Update InterSystems Cache to the latest version
If, however, after binding InterSystems Cache with Backup Configuration Format 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 InterSystems Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CBK file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the CBK file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CBK or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected CBK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CBK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CBK file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CBK 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move CBK to a different directory.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the CBK file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
