How to open NPPB file?

The main problem with Navicat For PostgreSQL Backup Profile Format is that the NPPB file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that NPPB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NPPB 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 Navicat for PostgreSQL

The first step is to check if the computer has the Navicat for PostgreSQL program installed. This can be achieved by typing Navicat for PostgreSQL into the operating 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 NPPB files.

Step 2. Create association of Navicat for PostgreSQL with NPPB files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NPPB file to open in the Navicat for PostgreSQL application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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 NPPB file with the Navicat for PostgreSQL application.

Step 3. Update Navicat for PostgreSQL to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Navicat for PostgreSQL program with the Navicat For PostgreSQL Backup Profile Format 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 PremiumSoft CyberTech Ltd. page and install.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to NPPB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 NPPB file. However, remember that not every infected NPPB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NPPB file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NPPB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NPPB 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 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 NPPB to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the NPPB file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
