- Description
- 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.
- 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.
