BACKUP File Complications

Common BACKUP Opening Problems

Google Android is Not Installed

Double-clicking your BACKUP file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open BACKUP File". If so, it typically means that you don't have Google Android installed for %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.

Tip: Another BACKUP-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

Google Android is Out-of-Date

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Google Android Backup File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. You will need to download a newer version of Google Android if you don't have the right version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.

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

Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening BACKUP files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
