What is a TAR GZ file?
The TAR-GZ file extension is the same as the TGZ file. The reason for the name changed was because MO-DOS operating system would not recognize a file with two dots in the name. The TAR-GZ file is a TAR archive file that is compressed by the standard GNU zip compression algorithm. It compresses multiple files into one file to make it easier to transport or backup. Once the TAR file is created, the GZIP software compresses the files to reduce the file size. It is mostly used on UNIX and Linux systems. Because a TAR-GZ file is created with two different methods, the TAR file, and GNU zip, TAR-GZ files need to be decompressed and then extract with a TAR utility.
