Use the Extension=Disable qualifier to disable automatic file extension for a storage area. Use the Extension=Enable qualifier to enable automatic file extension for a storage area. If you do not specify the Extension=Disable or Extension=Enable qualifier, the storage areas are restored with the automatic file extension attributes that were in effect when the database was backed up.
