TAR

Consolidated Unix File Archive

The TAR file format is a widely used archival format for storing multiple files in a single container, commonly associated with Unix and Linux systems. It is supported by tools like GNU Tar, 7-Zip, and various file archivers, and is often combined with compression formats like GZIP or BZIP2. The format stores files sequentially with metadata such as permissions, timestamps, and ownership, and supports advanced features like symbolic links, hard links, and sparse file handling.

BZ2

Bzip2 Compressed File

BZ2 (Bzip2) is a widely used open-source file compression format known for its high compression ratios, particularly effective for compressing large files. It is supported by various tools like 7-Zip, WinRAR, and command-line utilities such as `bzip2` on Unix-based systems. The format uses the Burrows-Wheeler transform and Huffman coding for compression, offering block-based compression with optional integrity checks via CRC32, making it reliable for data preservation.
