Understanding FUL Issues


Troubles Opening FUL Files

MsBackup Not Present

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open FUL Files" when trying to open your FUL. If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have MsBackup for %%os%% installed on your computer. The OS won't know what to do with your FUL file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: If you don't have MsBackup installed, and you know of another program to open your FUL file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


MsBackup Requires Update

Your Microsoft Backup File List file is incompatible with MsBackup because you might have the wrong version installed. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of MsBackup. This issue mainly occurs when your Microsoft Backup File List file was created by a newer version of MsBackup than you have on your PC.


Tip: Investigate your FUL file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening FUL files are due to having the wrong version of MsBackup installed.


Other FUL File Issues

You can still experience errors opening FUL files even with the latest version of MsBackup installed on your PC. Other FUL opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Additional factors include:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for FUL are wrong
  • Deletion of the FUL file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Partial installation of MsBackup that did not fully complete
  • Your FUL file is corrupted (issues with your Microsoft Backup File List file itself)
  • Your FUL is infected with malware
  • Drivers associated with FUL software need to be updated
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your Microsoft Backup File List file
