What is an RSV file?

RSV files mostly belong to RSView32 by Rockwell Automation. RSV is a reserve file used by a lot of different software applications. These files don't contain any data, but are instead used to reserve an arbitrary amount of space on a drive. Applications create them upon encountering different types of critical errors while in the middle of creating a data file. The idea is that the application can then use the reserved space to "end" or finish the data file that was stopped in the middle of creation, instead of the file becoming a corrupt file. Errors: Errors that would trigger this failsafe behavior from software could be "disk full" errors (when the local storage has run out of space to save the data file being created), "power loss" errors (when the device that the application is running on loses power), etc. Use cases: Some examples of use cases for these files would be:

• An audio recording application encountering a "disk full", "power loss", or similar error.
• A video recording application, be it a digital video editor, or a camera recorder, encountering a "storage full" or "power loss" errors
• A simulation application being stopped in the middle of saving a simulation project

Many more examples are possible, and they all follow the same principles.

How to open RSV files

You need a suitable software like RSView32 from Rockwell Automation to open an RSV file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your RSV file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a RSV file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

How to solve problems with RSV files

• Associate the RSV file extension with the correct application.
• Update your software that should actually open project files. Because only the current version supports the latest RSV file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the Rockwell Automation manufacturer website after an available RSView32 update.
• To make sure that your RSV file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
