The XLK file extension stands for Microsoft Excel Backup File. It is a backup file created by Microsoft Excel to store a copy of an existing Excel file (such as XLSX or XLS) to safeguard against data loss or corruption. This feature, which dates back to earlier versions of Excel, allows users to recover their work in case the original file becomes unusable. While newer Excel versions rely more on autosaving and version history, the XLK backup remains a useful tool for data recovery and archival purposes.
The Data Interchange Format (DIF) file extension is a standardized format used primarily for importing and exporting spreadsheet data between different software applications. Originating in the 1980s, DIF was developed by Software Arts for their pioneering spreadsheet program, VisiCalc. Despite its age, DIF remains relevant due to its simplicity and ease of implementation, facilitating interoperability among various data processing tools. Its structured, plain text nature makes it particularly suitable for transferring tabular data while maintaining data integrity across different platforms.
