How to open RGMB file?
The main problem with RootsMagic Backup Format is that the RGMB file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open RGMB, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RGMB 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 RootsMagic
In this case, you should first verify that the RootsMagic application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name RootsMagic in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RGMB with RootsMagic. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RGMB files.
Programs to open RGMB file
Remember to download programs supporting RGMB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RootsMagic with RGMB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RGMB file to open in the RootsMagic 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the RootsMagic application as the default for handling the RGMB file.
Step 3. Update RootsMagic to the latest version
If, despite the association of the RootsMagic program with the RootsMagic Backup 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 RootsMagic, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RGMB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The RGMB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RGMB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RGMB file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected RGMB 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 RGMB file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RGMB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting RootsMagic, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RGMB 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move RGMB to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RGMB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RGMB to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
