.R30 File

The r30 file extension is associated with WinRAR. Its one part of a multi-volume compressed RAR archive.

Some RAR files can be parts of a multi-volume sequences. In WinRAR you can split a huge archive to a few smaller files, which are called volumes.

Older versions of WinRAR used either:

• .rar or exe (SFX) for first volume
• .r01, r02, r03 ....etc. for any additional volumes

Or:

• .rar or exe (SFX) for first volume
• .001, .002, .003 ....etc. for any additional volumes

The newer versions of WinRAR are using:

• .rar or exe (SFX) for first volume
• .part1.rar, .part2.rar, part3.rar ....etc. for any additional volumes

In order to unpack the multi-volume RAR archive, you need to place ALL of the split parts in the same directory and start extraction of the first volume. The program will automatically use all of the parts to extract the content of the archive.

An r30 file extension is used by the WinRAR compression utility for multi-volume archive. An r30 file extension indicates that it is the thirty second part of the multi-volume archive. You need all parts of split archive to successfully extract all its contents. So many parts were used mainly in the days of floppy disks, when large archives were split to 1,44 Mb to fit exactly on the medium.
