Description
A TAZ file is essentially a compressed archive created using the Unix-based Tar archiving utility, with compression applied through the compress program. The "tar" part of the filename stands for "tape archive," reflecting the utility's origins in backing up data to tape drives, while the "z" indicates that the archive has been compressed using the Lempel-Ziv (LZ) algorithm to reduce its size.
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.
