How to open PBD file?
The main problem with EaseUS Todo Backup Format is that the PBD file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open PBD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PBD 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 Todo Backup
The first step is to check if the computer has the Todo Backup program installed. This can be achieved by typing Todo Backup into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PBD with Todo Backup. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PBD files.
Programs to open PBD file
Remember to download programs supporting PBD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Todo Backup with PBD files
If, despite the installed application, the PBD file does not start in the Todo Backup 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 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PBD file with the Todo Backup application.
Step 3. Update Todo Backup to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Todo Backup program, it is possible that EaseUS Todo Backup Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the EaseUS page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PBD file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the PBD file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PBD or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PBD 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 PBD 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PBD file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting CHENGDU Yiwo Tech Development, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PBD 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move PBD to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PBD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the PBD file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
