How to open VBOXSAVE file?

The main problem with SecurityBox Encrypted Data Backup Format is that the VBOXSAVE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that VBOXSAVE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VBOXSAVE 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 Stormshield Data Security

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Stormshield Data Security is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Stormshield Data Security into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation.

Programs to open VBOXSAVE file

Remember to download programs supporting VBOXSAVE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Stormshield Data Security with VBOXSAVE files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VBOXSAVE file still does not use the Stormshield Data Security program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VBOXSAVE file with the Stormshield Data Security application.

Step 3. Update Stormshield Data Security to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Stormshield Data Security program, it is possible that SecurityBox Encrypted Data Backup Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Stormshield website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VBOXSAVE file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The VBOXSAVE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VBOXSAVE file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VBOXSAVE file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VBOXSAVE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VBOXSAVE file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VBOXSAVE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VBOXSAVE 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.
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. If possible, you can try to move the VBOXSAVE file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the VBOXSAVE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
