How to open VBF file?
The most common problem when using VersaCheck Backup Format is that a specific VBF is not associated with the program. This causes the file VBF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VBF 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 VersaCheck

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VBF files.
Programs to open VBF file
Remember to download programs supporting VBF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of VersaCheck with VBF files
If, despite the installed application, the VBF file does not start in the VersaCheck application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VBF file with the VersaCheck application.
Step 3. Update VersaCheck to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the VersaCheck program, it is possible that VersaCheck Backup Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the G7 Productivity Systems, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VBF 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. Usually this applies to VBF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VBF file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VBF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of VBF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VBF files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact G7 Productivity Systems, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VBF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move VBF to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the VBF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VBF file again. However, some background programs may block the VBF file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
