Files with .tar extension are archives created with Unix-based utility for collecting one or more files. Multiple files are stored in an uncompressed format with the support of adding files as well as folders to the archive. TAR utility on Unix is Command based, but files hence created are supported by most file archiving systems on almost all operating systems. It was created in 1979 by AT&T Bell Laboratories.
Read moreBZ2 are compressed files generated using the BZIP2 open-source compression method, mostly on UNIX or Linux systems. It is used for the compression of a single file and is not meant for the archiving of multiple files. This is in contrast to the TAR file format on the same platforms that archives multiple files into a single file but without compression. Files compressed as BZ2 can be decompressed with applications like WinZip.
