How to open NBZ file?

Step 2. Create association of ArcSoft TotalMedia Backup & Record with NBZ files

If, despite the installed application, the NBZ file does not start in the ArcSoft TotalMedia Backup & Record application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NBZ file with the ArcSoft TotalMedia Backup & Record application.

Step 3. Update ArcSoft TotalMedia Backup & Record to the latest version

If, despite the association of the ArcSoft TotalMedia Backup & Record program with the ArcSoft Total Media Backup & Record Backup file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ArcSoft, Inc. page and install.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NBZ file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NBZ file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NBZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NBZ 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NBZ files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ArcSoft, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NBZ 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.
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 NBZ to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the NBZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NBZ file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
