How to open EG file?
An often recurring problem with Image It Backup Disk Image is that EG is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open EG, 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 EG 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 Image It
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Image It is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Image It in it.

Programs to open EG file
Remember to download programs supporting EG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Image It with EG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EG file still does not use the Image It program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 EG file with the Image It application.
Step 3. Update Image It to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Image It program, it is possible that Image It Backup Disk Image requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Wasay website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EG file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the EG file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EG file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the EG file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EG file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Wasay
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EG 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the EG file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EG file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
