What is UCI file?
The file with the extension UCI is the Backup Files file type. The author of this format is SysDevSoftware. Backup Files consists of 243 similar files. UFS Explorer Backup Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is UFS Explorer. This was created by SYSDEV LABORATORIES.
How to open UCI file?
The most common problem when using UFS Explorer Backup Format is that a specific UCI is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that UCI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UCI 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 UFS Explorer
In this case, you should first verify that the UFS Explorer application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name UFS Explorer in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file UCI.
Programs to open UCI file
Remember to download programs supporting UCI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of UFS Explorer with UCI files
If, despite the installed application, the UCI file does not start in the UFS Explorer application, you must create a file 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the UCI file with the UFS Explorer application.
Step 3. Update UFS Explorer to the latest version
If, however, after binding UFS Explorer with UFS Explorer Backup Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the SYSDEV LABORATORIES website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UCI file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The UCI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to UCI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the UCI file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected UCI 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 UCI 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 ability to automatically repair UCI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use SysDevSoftware help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UCI files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the UCI file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the UCI file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the UCI file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
