- Description
- An ARC archive is a compressed file archive from the MS-DOS and bulletin-board era, made by SEA's ARC program; unrelated to Norton backup files that also use .arc.
- The SWM file format, or Split Windows Imaging Format File, is a type of disk image file used by Microsoft Windows for system deployment, backup, and recovery purposes. It is essentially a variation of the WIM (Windows Imaging Format) file, but with a key difference: it is split into multiple smaller files, rather than being a single large file. This splitting feature makes SWM files particularly useful for distributing a large system image across multiple storage media, such as DVDs or USB drives.
