How to open DPB file?
An often recurring problem with DataPilot Backup Format is that DPB is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file DPB 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 DPB 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 DataPilot
The first step is to check if the computer has the DataPilot program installed. To do this, enter the name DataPilot 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 DPB with DataPilot. Below is a list of programs that support the file DPB.
Programs to open DPB file
Remember to download programs supporting DPB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DataPilot with DPB files
If, despite the installed application, the DPB file does not start in the DataPilot application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the DataPilot application as the default for handling the DPB file.
Step 3. Update DataPilot to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DataPilot program with the DataPilot 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 Susteen, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DPB file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DPB file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DPB file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DPB 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 DPB files changes over time. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DPB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Susteen help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DPB 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move DPB to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DPB 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 DPB to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DPB file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
