We are always trying to improve. That’s why we optimize our archives from time to time. Of course, we are careful to ensure backward compatibility.

What is an archive?

Backup programs save data in so-called "archives" (also "backup", "backup" or "image"). These are files in a specific file format that can usually only be read and written by the respective backup program. These files are stored together in an archive directory, which you can select as a destination during backup. Increments or differential subsequent backups are usually stored as subdirectories in this directory. Usually an archive contains one or more index files. In addition there are the files that contain the data itself in mostly compressed state. Normally the data is not stored in a single file, which would become very large and therefore unmanageable. The data archives are divided into several files. Normally these parts have a file size of 4 GB. The reason for this size is the limitation of the FAT32 file system, which was used to format most external hard disks in the past. But even today the partitioning is still recommended, because it makes the transfer of the archive over network connections safer and faster. For recovery, the index files are selected. At Paragon, these have the file name extension .pfi – no matter which archive format is used.

PBF format

PBF format in general

Our classic archive format was the PBF format. PBF stands for "Paragon Backup Format". It refers to the index file of the archive, which has the file name extension .pbf has.

Finance

When people think of money, they usually have cash in mind, i.e. banknotes and coins. Banknotes are bills. Coins are minted pieces of metal. They are both denominated in a specific amount ( face value ) in a specific currency. Since the beginning of 2002, the currency in Germany – as in the entire euro area – has been the euro. Coins complement banknotes for small payments. Your face value is generally higher than the metal value – so also with the euro coins. Such coins are called Scheidemunzen.

Euro cash is legal tender in the euro area

Euro banknotes are the only unrestricted legal tender in the euro area. Every creditor of a monetary claim must accept unlimited quantities of banknotes from the debtor in fulfillment of his claim, unless both parties have agreed otherwise by contract and statutory acceptance restrictions do not prevent this.
