The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GMBCK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use YoYo Games help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GMBCK 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move GMBCK to a different directory.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GMBCK to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GMBCK file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
