What is an SPF file?

SPF files mostly belong to Converter by vmware. SPF file is a backup file which is created by the ShadowProtect application. ShadowProtect is an application which is used for backup file generation and as a disaster recovery management tool. SPF files are the compressed backup files which stores data in a single archive format rather than a spanned archive or an incremental backup.

How can I open an SPF file?

You need a suitable software like Converter to open an SPF 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 SPF file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SPF file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

SPF file format:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our examination of the SPF files comes to the following conclusion:

The SPF extension is very commonly found and includes very many different file formats. The two most popular formats are as follows:

7% of all SPF files are based on the zip format, i.e. an SPF file contains several compressed files. SPF files contain from 1 to 40 compressed files. Tip: If you rename the file ending to .zip and then double-click it, you see the included files and images. The average file size is 4 MB with most files being between 47 KB and 16 MB in size. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. Unit. The following filename is common: Unit-02.spf.
8% of all SPF files are associated with StorageCraft ShadowProtect backup image. They consist of unreadable binary data. SPF files are between 300 MB and 150 GB in size. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. SPFI and nonic. An example of a file name is C_VOL-b001.spf or D_VOL-b001.spf.

The remaining 85% of all SPF files are different files with different signatures, frequently e.g. StruCad 3D model, config, DOC, XML, PNG, GZIP, etb, esb and release. Often described as project, corr, production, modelling, vaccine or bass. If you want to find out what your SPF file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
