- .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 aditional volumes
In order to unpack the multi-volume RAR archive, you need to place ALL of the splited 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.
