  Re: What is sparse file?
Answer
# 1
A sparse file is a type of computer file that attempts to 
use file system space more efficiently when the file itself 
is mostly empty. This is achieved by not writing data to 
disk when it has been allocated but not actually filled 
with data. Instead, brief information about these empty 
regions is stored, which takes up much less disk space. 
These regions are only written to disk at their actual size 
when data is written to them; the file system transparently 
converts empty sections into blocks filled with zero bytes 
when read at runtime. Most modern file systems support 
sparse files, including most Unix variants and NTFS. Sparse 
files are commonly used for disk images, database 
snapshots, log files and in scientific applications.
