Step 2. Create association of MSBackup with FUL files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FUL file to open in the MSBackup 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FUL file with the MSBackup program.

Step 3. Update MSBackup to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the MSBackup program, it is possible that Microsoft Backup Format List requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FUL 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. Usually this applies to FUL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FUL file. Sometimes virus-infected FUL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FUL file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FUL file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FUL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the FUL file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FUL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
