Both formats, briefly

TAR.

TAR.LZMAIN

TAR.LZMA pairs a TAR bundle with the original LZMA compressor, the ancestor of the XZ format used today. Compression is strong, but current tools write .tar.xz instead, so this ending mostly turns up on older files. Convert one when you want something modern software opens without argument.

TAR.

TAR.XZOUT

TAR.XZ runs LZMA2 compression over a TAR bundle and usually ends up the smallest of the common Unix archive types. Building one asks for more processor time and memory than gzip does. It fits large downloads well, because you pay that cost once and everyone who fetches the file saves bandwidth.

Three steps, start to finish
