RAR
Short for Roshal ARchive, RAR is a file format, typically used for data compression (similar to ZIP files), error recovery, and file spanning developed by Eugene Roshal. The most common file extensions for a RAR format is .rar (for compressed files) and .rev (for recovery files). 7-Zip and WinRAR are the most common software programs used for creating files in the RAR format and extracting the contents of the RAR file.
