What is P30 file?
The file with the extension P30 is the Misc Files file type. The author of this format is Peter B. Clements. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files.

The main program that supports this format is QuickPar. This was created by Peter B. Clements.
How to open P30 file?
An often recurring problem with PAR Recovery Volume is that P30 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file P30 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 P30 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 QuickPar
In this case, you should first verify that the QuickPar application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name QuickPar into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open P30 files.
Programs to open P30 file
Remember to download programs supporting P30 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuickPar with P30 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the P30 file still does not use the QuickPar program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 P30 file with the QuickPar application.
Step 3. Update QuickPar to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the QuickPar program, it is possible that PAR Recovery Volume requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Peter B. Clements website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the P30 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 P30 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the P30 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected P30 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 P30 file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair P30 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Peter B. Clements, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file P30 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. If possible, you can try to move the P30 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the P30 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the P30 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
