This is a program created by Novell, Inc..
How to open UNF file?
An often recurring problem with Btreive Unformatted is that UNF is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open UNF, 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 UNF 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 Novell NetWare
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Novell NetWare is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Novell NetWare 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 UNF.
Programs to open UNF file
Remember to download programs supporting UNF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Novell NetWare with UNF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the UNF file to open in the Novell NetWare application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 UNF file with the Novell NetWare application.
Step 3. Update Novell NetWare to the latest version
If, however, after binding Novell NetWare with Btreive Unformatted there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Novell, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UNF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the UNF 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file UNF or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected UNF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the UNF 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged UNF files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Novell, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file UNF 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the UNF file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the UNF 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 UNF to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
