Backup files are mirror images of a file or document, at the time the backup file was created by a user of an application, and some programs are usually integrated with features which can enable a user to back up certain media files stored in his or her computer. An example is the ARC format. These are backup files referenced by the associated application, and these files are implemented with support for the development of mobile applications intended for the Symbian environment. The industries targeted by the developers of these applications are from construction groups to IT and modern manufacturing institutions, particularly those who need mobile solutions for their daily business communications and operations. The Nokia Symbian SDK (Software Development Kit) program can be used to access the content and functionalities stored in files appended with the ARC format.

Be careful not to rename the extension on .arc files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .arc. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.leave a comment
