The .SCO file extension is used for the TotalRecovery Backup Image, which is an imaging tool from FarStone Technology Inc. This software allows users to create a backup of their entire system drive for easier and faster recovery. The SCO file type contains an exact image of the disk or partition including the operating system, software applications, user files, settings and preferences.
Creating a SCO image
The TotalRecovery application enables users to create a SCO image file from scratch. This process requires the user to select the source disk or partition which needs to be backed up. They can choose to backup data stored on multiple disks at the same time and select the destination folder where the created backup will be stored. After this, the user can click ‘Create Image’ and it will start creating an image of the disk or partition. The time taken for this process may vary depending on how much content is there to be recovered.
Similar File Extensions
Other image files such as .TIB, .GHO, .RDL, .IMG, and .ISS may also be used for creating backups. Each of these files are used for specific tasks while the SCO file is suitable for creating exact images of disks or partitions with contents that cannot be easily reconstructed.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SCO) 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 .SCO 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 .SCO 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 .SCO 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 .SCO extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SCO file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SCO 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 .SCO file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SCO file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SCO file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
