Tutorial for Windows, MacOS, Android and IOS systems in 2021
What is a .PFI file?
A PFI file is a backup index file created by one of Paragon's backup and recovery applications. It contains metadata of the corresponding incremental image, which is used to differentiate between the current and previous state of a backup object. PFI files are designed to help save storage space by only saving the differences between save states.
