CAB

Windows Cabinet File

The cabinet file format, shortened CAB, is an archive file format that was developed for the Microsoft Windows operating system. The format supports the lossless family of data compression algorithms as well as embedded digital certificates that facilitate data integrity. Archives created using the CAB format have the filename extension .cab and are recognized by the operating system through the identifying 4 bytes in the header. CAB enjoys support by other Microsoft technologies such as the Setup APIs, Windows Installer and others. In fact, some earlier integrated development environments developed by Microsoft could create setup files that were organized as CAB files.
TGZ

Gzipped Tar File

The .gz filename extension refers to the GZIP file format and compression/decompression utility of the same name which was initially released in 1992. It is the extension given to files compressed using the gzip utility. Unlike other compression tools of the time, gzip was originally intended to be used as a tool to compress a single file as opposed to multiple files or entire directories compressed as a single archive. As a work around, multiple files can be archived using the TAR archive file format, then that single TAR archive would then be compressed using the GZIP format. This would give the file a filename extension of .tar.gz.
