Programs to open J01 file
Remember to download programs supporting J01 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Akeeba Backup with J01 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the J01 file to open in the Akeeba Backup application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the J01 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The J01 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the J01 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our J01 file. Sometimes virus-infected J01 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the J01 files changes over time. 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged J01 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted J01 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the J01 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the J01 file again. 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.
