How to open NPS file?

An often recurring problem with NTI Partition Set is that NPS is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that NPS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NPS 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 NTI Backup Now

The first step is to check if the computer has the NTI Backup Now program installed. This can be achieved by typing NTI Backup Now into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NPS files.

Programs to open NPS file

Remember to download programs supporting NPS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of NTI Backup Now with NPS files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NPS file to open in the NTI Backup Now application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the NTI Backup Now application as the default for handling the NPS file.

Step 3. Update NTI Backup Now to the latest version

If, however, after binding NTI Backup Now with NTI Partition Set there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the NTI Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NPS 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to NPS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 NPS file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NPS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of NPS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 NPS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting NTI, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NPS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move NPS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the NPS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NPS file again. However, some background programs may block the NPS file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
