What is a .VBOX-PREV file?
The file extension .VBOX-PREV is associated with Oracle VM VirtualBox, which is software that allows users to run multiple operating systems on one computer. The .VBOX-PREV file is a backup file type specifically used by this software. It is created automatically by Oracle VM VirtualBox to save a backup of the settings of a virtual machine. These settings are normally stored in a .VBOX file, and the .VBOX-PREV file contains the previous settings before any changes were made.
This backup file is useful because it allows users to restore their virtual machine settings to an earlier state if needed. For example, if changes to the settings cause problems with the virtual machine, the user can revert to the settings stored in the .VBOX-PREV file.
The .VBOX-PREV file is typically found in the same directory as the corresponding .VBOX file. To open or use this file, you would use Oracle VM VirtualBox, the same program that created it. This ensures that if there are any issues or if you need to go back to an earlier configuration of your virtual machine, you can do so using the software itself. Oracle VM VirtualBox is the only program designed to open and interact with .VBOX-PREV files.
