File Extension R08

File Extension R08 is used to store nineth (RAR, R00, R01, R02, R03, R04, R05, R06, R07, R08, ...) part of RAR archive. For more information on RAR format please see below.

RAR is archive file format that supports data compression, error recovery, and file spanning. It was developed by Eugene Roshal (hence the name RAR: Roshal ARchive) and currently licensed by Win.RAR GmbH.

The filename extension used by RAR is .rar for the data volume set and .rev for the recovery volume set.

Sometimes RAR file size is to huge so it cannot fit into storage device. When this happens RAR file is broken into several volumes. These volumes are named as rxx where XX is number of the volume.

For example if you're creating RAR archive with 10 parts named myarchive it will have following components:

  • myarchive.rar file with File Extension RAR
  • myarchive.r00 file with File Extension R00
  • myarchive.r01 file with File Extension R01
  • myarchive.r02 file with File Extension R02
  • myarchive.r03 file with File Extension R03
  • myarchive.r04 file with File Extension R04
  • myarchive.r05 file with File Extension R05
  • myarchive.r06 file with File Extension R06
  • myarchive.r07 file with File Extension R07
  • myarchive.r08 file with File Extension R08
  • myarchive.r09 file with File Extension R09
  • Version 1 and 2 archive files were often used in conjunction with a parchive file archiver to create parity files for error recovery when using less-than-perfect file transmission and storage media such as newsgroups, satellite transmission, and optical discs. Version 3 has eliminated the need for 3rd party post-processing.
