  7. Human error: Mistakes made by users, such as accidentally formatting the wrong drive or overwriting ".SNF" files with incorrect data, can lead to file loss or failure.
  8. Software updates or upgrades: Sometimes, when updating or upgrading software, ".SNF" files may become incompatible with the new version, causing them to fail or become inaccessible.
