How to open VBB file?
The most common problem when using VirtualBoss Backup is that a specific VBB is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that VBB 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 VBB 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 VirtualBoss
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that VirtualBoss is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing VirtualBoss 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 VBB with VirtualBoss. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VBB files.
Programs to open VBB file
Remember to download programs supporting VBB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of VirtualBoss with VBB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VBB file still does not use the VirtualBoss 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VBB file with the VirtualBoss program.
Step 3. Update VirtualBoss to the latest version
If, despite the association of the VirtualBoss program with the VirtualBoss Backup 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 VirtualBoss, Inc page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VBB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to VBB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 VBB or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected VBB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the VBB files changes over time. 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 ability to automatically repair VBB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use VirtualBoss, Inc help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VBB 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 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. It is best to move VBB to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VBB 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.
