Upload a BZ2 archive and save it as TAR for storage, sharing or compatibility.
BZ2 is a compressed archive file category format. Its creator is Julian Seward, and the full name is Bzip2 Compressed File. The BZ2 format is a free, free command-line utility for compressing data. It is open source. For the effective implementation of its function uses the Burrows-Wheeler algorithm. Data compression in this format is much more efficient than the more common gzip or ZIP utilities do. However, this is slower. Compressed files of this format are most often used on Unix operating systems.
TAR is a file format of the archived and compressed categories. The original name this format bears is Consolidated Unix File Archive. Its developer is Jean-loup Gailly. Specialized software packages for Unix are used to create files of the specified format. In fact, this is the generally accepted standard archive file format on a Unix extension system. The direct purpose of TAR-format files is to create file system archives. TAR files store detailed information, from the directory structure to timestamps.
