The XAR file type is primarily associated with 'Excel' by Microsoft Corporation. AutoRecover saves all files as the current Excel file format, regardless of the original file format opened. The file is saved as a hidden file with an arbitrary filename with the extension .XAR (for example, ~ar18a.xar). Detailed information for file extension XAR: Other applications associated with file type XAR: Xara X (Vector Drawing) by Xara Group LimitedAlso applies to Xara Xtreme, the latest version of XaraX.
Prior to Excel 2010, the Autosave feature creates hidden .xar files in C:\Users\ username \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel. The filenames are generated, and don't relate to the Workbook name. When you close Excel and select NO to save changes, the related temp .xar file is deleted PERMANENTLY... However... I have come up with a way of saving the files in this directory to a backup directory at regular intervals using Task Scheduler and Powershell-effectively backing up the autosave files.
