- Description
- The SCAP file format (.scap) is associated with EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface), which is a specification designed to replace the older BIOS firmware interface used by most computers. The EFI firmware is responsible for booting up the system, and it provides a more modern, flexible, and secure way of managing the boot process compared to traditional BIOS. An SCAP file is essentially an EFI Firmware File that contains firmware update information or data intended for the EFI environment.
- It is a file-based disk image format created by Microsoft for its latest Windows OS releases, Windows Server 2008 and the Windows Vista. Windows Imaging Format (wim), is used for the standard installation method of the OS.
