How to open HBC file?
An often recurring problem with HyperBac Compressed Archive is that HBC is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open HBC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HBC 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 SQL HyperBac
The first step is to check if the computer has the SQL HyperBac program installed. To do this, enter the name SQL HyperBac into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support HBC files.
Programs to open HBC file
Remember to download programs supporting HBC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SQL HyperBac with HBC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HBC file still does not use the SQL HyperBac 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 select the desired program. 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 HBC file with the SQL HyperBac program.
Step 3. Update SQL HyperBac to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SQL HyperBac program, it is possible that HyperBac Compressed Archive requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HBC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The HBC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the HBC file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HBC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HBC 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 HBC 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HBC file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file HBC 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. It is best to move HBC to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HBC file again. However, some background programs may block the HBC file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
