| Compressed File From A Multi-volume Archive (part 2) | N/A | Backup Files |
The 002 file extension is a compressed file from a multi-volume archive. This type of file often contains multiple files or folders that have been compressed into one single file format for simple storage and retrieval. They are commonly used for email attachments, archives, and backing up large amounts of data. To open the 002 file type, any WinZip compatible archive utility will do the trick. Some specific archive programs like 7-Zip, WinRAR, or PeaZip support it.
Similar File Types:
Other multi-part volumes may use different file extensions such as 001,.003,.zip,.rar,.7z. These types of files are commonly used when transferring web content and large multimedia files across the Internet.
Converting the Files
In order to combine all the files to have the complete lossless archive, usually they must first be extracted. For example, when saving a download from a website it could come as a zip.001,.zip.002, etc., each being around typically 800MB or 1GB in size. It is best practice to recombine these as soon as they are extracted, to ensure that no data is lost during transit or extraction.
Conclusion
The 002 file extension is used by programs such as WinZip, 7-Zip, WinRAR, and PeaZip as a compressed multi-volume reply. It is important to note that the 002 file format must be opened with its specific software and cannot be opened with other generic compression software.
Programs for MAC system
Programs for LINUX system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .002) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .002 extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .002 file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .002 extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .002 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .002 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .002 file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .002 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .002 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .002 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
