A TAZ file is essentially a compressed archive created using the Unix-based Tar archiving utility, with compression applied through the compress program. The "tar" part of the filename stands for "tape archive," reflecting the utility's origins in backing up data to tape drives, while the "z" indicates that the archive has been compressed using the Lempel-Ziv (LZ) algorithm to reduce its size.
This format works based on the LZMA principle compression algorithm. It was originally used in 7-Zip archives. tar.7z archives were created for storing info about file owners and for ease of use in Unix systems, based on a TAR archiving tool.
