Step 1. Install MySQL Enterprise Backup

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support IBZ files.

Step 2. Create association of MySQL Enterprise Backup with IBZ files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IBZ file still does not use the MySQL Enterprise Backup program, it means no association. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the IBZ file with the MySQL Enterprise Backup application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IBZ file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IBZ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IBZ file. However, remember that not every infected IBZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the IBZ files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IBZ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Oracle Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file IBZ 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move IBZ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the IBZ 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. However, some background programs may block the IBZ file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
