- FAT (File Allocation Table) is a robust and simple file system that is used by the OS to manage files (i.e., reliability, performance, and scalability) on computer systems and hard drives. It is compatible with almost all computers, digital cameras, flash drives, mobile phones, and other portable devices; hence, it's common to use.
- File created using Tar archive and XZ compression tools; contains a .TAR archive that has been compressed using .XZ compression, which compresses at a high ratio.
