How to open VFJ file?
The main problem with Personal Backup Data Format is that the VFJ file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open VFJ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VFJ 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 Personal Backup
The first step is to check if the computer has the Personal Backup program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Personal Backup 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 VFJ.
Programs to open VFJ file
Remember to download programs supporting VFJ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Personal Backup with VFJ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VFJ file to open in the Personal Backup 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. 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 VFJ file with the Personal Backup program.
Step 3. Update Personal Backup to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Personal Backup program, it is possible that Personal Backup Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the J. Rathlev, IEAP, Kiel University website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VFJ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The VFJ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VFJ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VFJ file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected VFJ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VFJ 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VFJ 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 VFJ 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the VFJ file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the VFJ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VFJ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VFJ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
