How to open ZFC file?
The main problem with Back4Win Backup Archive is that the ZFC file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open ZFC, 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 ZFC 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 Back4Win
The first step is to check if the computer has the Back4Win program installed. This can be achieved by typing Back4Win into the operating system search engine. 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 ZFC files.
Programs to open ZFC file
Remember to download programs supporting ZFC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Back4Win with ZFC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ZFC file still does not use the Back4Win 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 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 ZFC file with the Back4Win application.
Step 3. Update Back4Win to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Back4Win program with the Back4Win Backup Archive file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Alistair George Manufacturing website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZFC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ZFC file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 ZFC or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ZFC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ZFC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ZFC files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Alistair George Manufacturing help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ZFC 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. If possible, you can try to move the ZFC 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZFC file again. However, some background programs may block the ZFC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
