- Description
- A 7Z file is a type of compressed archive that uses the open-source LZMA compression algorithm to reduce the size of the file. This type of file is often used to store multiple directories and files in a single, compressed package. 7Z files can also include strong AES-256 encryption for added security. They are commonly created using the 7-Zip utility developed by Igor Pavlov.
- This is a compressed archive in the TAR container with the help of the BZIP tool. It was created for use in Unix systems. The TAR container combines several files into one archive that’s placed in a TBZ compressed file. They’re used as installation packets in the installers of some operating systems.
