Opening AGZ Files

The AGZ file type is primarily associated with MongoDB Tools.

AGZ	File extension: AGZ
	File type:	compressed archive file

What is an AGZ file?

AGZ files mostly belong to MongoDB Tools. AGZ files are used as a MongoDB database backup. They contain a database dump that has been compressed using GZIP.

Backup Archive: The file holds MongoDB data exported by utilities like mongodump.

GZIP Compression: The dump is compressed to reduce file size and speed up transfers.

To work with it, first extract the content with a tool such as 7-Zip or WinRAR, then restore it using MongoDB tools (for example, mongorestore).

This format is designed for backup and migration tasks and is not meant to be opened directly in a text editor.
FilExt.com note: For more details on the process, please refer to the MongoDB Database Backup Documentation.

How can I open an AGZ file?

You need a suitable software like MongoDB Tools to open an AGZ file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your AGZ file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a AGZ file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Programs that open and convert AGZ files:

MongoDB Tools
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. AGZ files are often referred to as MongoDB Tools backups because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
AggFlow (Aggregate Plant Flow Diagram) by BedRock Software Inc.
AggFlow is a plant flow analysis software program developed for the aggregate and mining industry. Use AggFlow to build a crushing plant on the computer screen, choose equipment types and settings, monitor flow rates and gradations at desired points, then run the plant. By experimenting with different types of equipment and settings, you can fully optimize crushing, screening and washing equipment to maximize the production of desired products. This file format is classified as CAD/CAM.

AGZ file format:

The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature). Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Below is our analysis of the AGZ files:

The file type with the extension 'AGZ' predominantly uses a uniform format. The two most popular formats are as follows:

90% of all AGZ files internally utilize the GZIP file format. Gzip is a compressed archive file format. Gzip (GNU zip) is only capable of compressing a single file. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. The average file size is 510 KB with most files being between 9 KB and 58 MB in size. The file type is a fairly new file format. The file name spacex.2020-06-01.agz is typical for these files. Such files sometimes refer to dump, backup, smartshark, staging, direct, employees, mongodump, mongo, small and prod.
3% of all AGZ files use the same file format, which have the signature 6D E2 99 81. If you open these files in a text editor, you can view the contents and find segments of text. Most of these files are 110 bytes to 33 MB in size. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. concurrent_collections, server_version and tool_version.

All the rest of the AGZ files (7%) have different formats. These files are often connected to common, database or data. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your AGZ file!

How to solve problems with AGZ files

Associate the AGZ file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open compressed archive files. Because only the current version supports the latest AGZ file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available MongoDB Tools update.
To make sure that your AGZ file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
