Description
Qcow is a disk image file format used by the QEMU virtual machine software. It is a copy-on-write format that allows users to take snapshots of a virtual machine and save them to a file. Qcow files can be used to store operating systems, applications, and data, and they are compressed and support encryption.
The TXZ file format is a combination of TAR archiving and XZ compression. It is used to pack multiple files into a single archive (TAR) and then compress it using XZ compression to reduce the file size. The TAR aspect allows for the collection of various files and directories into a single file, preserving their structure and attributes. The XZ compression, known for its high compression ratio, further compresses this archive, making the resulting TXZ file more efficient for storage or transmission.
