How to open OFB file?
An often recurring problem with Oxygen Forensic Suite Backup is that OFB is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file OFB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OFB 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 Oxygen Forensic Suite
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Oxygen Forensic Suite is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Oxygen Forensic Suite into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file OFB.
Programs to open OFB file
Remember to download programs supporting OFB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Oxygen Forensic Suite with OFB files
If, despite the installed application, the OFB file does not start in the Oxygen Forensic Suite 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 Oxygen Forensic Suite application as the default for handling the OFB file.
Step 3. Update Oxygen Forensic Suite to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Oxygen Forensic Suite program, it is possible that Oxygen Forensic Suite Backup requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Oxygen Software Company website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OFB 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the OFB file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the OFB file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected OFB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the OFB files changes over time. 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 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 OFB files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Oxygen Software Company help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OFB 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move OFB to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the OFB file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OFB file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
