How to open CBU file?
An often recurring problem with Comodo Backup Format is that CBU is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that CBU files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CBU 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 Comodo Backup
The first step is to check if the computer has the Comodo Backup program installed. To do this, enter the name Comodo 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 CBU.
Programs to open CBU file
Remember to download programs supporting CBU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Comodo Backup with CBU files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CBU file to open in the Comodo Backup application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CBU file with the Comodo Backup program.
Step 3. Update Comodo Backup to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Comodo Backup program with the Comodo Backup Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Comodo Group, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CBU file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The CBU file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CBU files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CBU file. Sometimes virus-infected CBU files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CBU file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 CBU file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Comodo Group help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CBU 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the CBU file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the CBU file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
