TAR.GZIN

TAR.GZ wraps a TAR bundle in gzip compression, and the shorter .tgz ending means the same thing. Nearly every Linux system unpacks it with tools that are already installed, so source code and server backups travel this way. Choose it when you want a smaller file without waiting long for the archive to build.

TAROUT

A TAR file stacks many files into one without shrinking them, keeping Unix permissions, ownership and folder structure exactly as they were. On Linux that makes it the usual first step before a compressor such as gzip or xz runs over the result. Reach for plain TAR when you want a faithful bundle and will handle compression separately, or not at all.
