How to open JBACKUP file?
The most common problem when using The Journal Backup Archive Format is that a specific JBACKUP is not associated with the program. This causes the file JBACKUP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JBACKUP 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 2. Create association of The Journal with JBACKUP files

It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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.

The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file JBACKUP or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JBACKUP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.

Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JBACKUP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
