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.
TAR.GZ is a file format of the archived and compressed categories. The original name this format bears is the Compressed Tarball File. Its developer is The GNU Project. TAR files (archives) are compressed using the standard GNU ZIP compression (gzip) algorithm. The main function of files of the specified format is to pack files, programs and installation files on Unix operating systems. Such archives simultaneously contain files of the .TAR and .GZ categories. To open them, you must first unzip them in the traditional way, and then extract them using the TAR utility.
