What is a ARZ file?
ARZ is an extension given to files used by a relational database management system called MySQL. It is an open source system developed by MySQL AB and currently operated by Oracle Corporation.
ARZ are files used by one of the modules of this tool called MySQL Enterprise Backup. This is the internal data of the database engine. These files are not intended to be opened directly by the user. The whole solution allows you to restore databases from backups created by MySQL Enterprise Backup (e.g. in case of damage to the correct database).

How to open ARZ files
If you cannot open the ARZ file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports ARZ among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the ARZ file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the ARZ format files
The inability to open and operate the ARZ file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the MySQL Archive Storage Engine Data file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a ARZ file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the ARZ file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the ARZ from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the ARZ format
- The ARZ file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the ARZ file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a ARZ file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the ARZ file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the ARZ file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the ARZ file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.ARZ) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected ARZ file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the ARZ file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. ARZ) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
