- Description
- An archive file developed by Bzip2 compressor mainly found on Unix OS. Its popularly used to move Linux application packages because of its high-level compression algorithms i.e. the Burrows-Wheeler compression and Run-Length Encoding (RLE).
- 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.
