This article explains what an AFI file is, the two primary formats that use the AFI file extension, and how to open or convert both kinds.What Is an AFI File
A file with the AFI file extension is a backup file created by AOMEI Backupper. It holds folders and files that have been backed up through the software. If the program made a backup of a hard drive, it will use the ADI file extension instead. Other AFI files are Truevision Bitmap Graphic files. You'll know this is the case if the file is small and you suspect it's an image of some kind.How to Open an AFI File
As long as the file isn't an image, it's probably only useful within the context of AOMEI Backupper Standard or AOMEI Backupper Professional. Installing one of those programs is necessary if you want to restore the backed up data contained within the AFI file. If double-clicking the file doesn't open the backup in AOMEI's software, launch the program yourself and follow these steps: Open the Restore tab and select the folder icon. This file might be protected behind a password, in which case you'll have to provide it before you can start restoring the files. Browse for and select Open on the AFI file (or the ADI file if you need to restore one of those).Put a check in the box next to each item you want to restore.
