How to open TDZ file?
An often recurring problem with Drobo Firmware Format is that TDZ is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open TDZ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TDZ 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 Drobo Dashboard
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Drobo Dashboard is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Drobo Dashboard in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TDZ with Drobo Dashboard. Below is a list of programs that support the file TDZ.
Programs to open TDZ file
Remember to download programs supporting TDZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Drobo Dashboard with TDZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TDZ file still does not use the Drobo Dashboard program, it means no association. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TDZ file with the Drobo Dashboard program.
Step 3. Update Drobo Dashboard to the latest version
If, however, after binding Drobo Dashboard with Drobo Firmware Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Drobo, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TDZ 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the TDZ file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 TDZ file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected TDZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TDZ file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TDZ files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Drobo help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TDZ 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the TDZ file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
