The ADI file extension is used by Active@ Disk Image File, a proprietary disk imaging software solution for Microsoft Windows from LSoft Technologies. It is used to backup and restore partitions, individual folders, files or folders stored on hard drives or other external storage devices. This software can create an exact copy of these files, thus preserving the original structure and contents intact.
ADI files are created from a ‘source’ volume or drive in order to create an image containing all of the original data, settings, and programs. This includes the operating system settings and even hidden files. These backups can be used to restore the entire "disk" or volumes to their original state at the time the image was created. Additionally, Disk Imageoffers the ability to back up files individually as well as clone disks or data recovery.

Other related disk image file extensions include VHD, VMDK, and BIN.
Uses of ADI file extension
ADI files are typically used by individuals for making full computer system backups. They can also be used to generate sector-by-sector clones of hard drives for upgrading, migrating or copying data to larger drives. Businesses may employ ADI files for applications such as disaster Recovery, IT Asset Management etc.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ADI) 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 .ADI 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 .ADI 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 .ADI 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 .ADI extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ADI file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ADI 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 .ADI file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ADI file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ADI file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
