What is SN1 file?
The file in the SN1 format belongs to the Backup Files category. It was designed by Tom Ehlert. Backup Files consists of 243 similar files.

It was released by Tom Ehlert Software.
How to open SN1 file?
An often recurring problem with Drive Snapshot First Differential Backup is that SN1 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SN1, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SN1 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Drive Snapshot
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Drive Snapshot is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Drive Snapshot in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SN1 with Drive Snapshot. Below is a list of programs that support the file SN1.
Programs to open SN1 file
Remember to download programs supporting SN1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Drive Snapshot with SN1 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SN1 file to open in the Drive Snapshot application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SN1 file with the Drive Snapshot program.
Step 3. Update Drive Snapshot to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Drive Snapshot program with the Drive Snapshot First Differential Backup file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Tom Ehlert Software website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SN1 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The SN1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SN1 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SN1 file. Sometimes virus-infected SN1 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SN1 files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SN1 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Tom Ehlert
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SN1 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the SN1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SN1 file again. However, some background programs may block the SN1 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
