What is a TGZ file?
The TGZ 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. The TGZ file was originally created as an extension of the GZ file. The TAR-GZ file extension is the same as the TGZ file. The reason for the name change was because MO-DOS operating system would not recognize a file with two dots in the name.
