What is a TZO file?
TZO – Tar compressed with lzop. TZO is a TAR archive compressed with lzop, the same format as TAR.LZO with a shorter extension. The TAR keeps folders and Unix permissions; lzop makes it smaller.
TZO Converter →What is a RAR file?
RAR – RAR archive. RAR is a proprietary archive format from RarLab, popular for large downloads because of its strong compression and recovery records. Opening it is free; creating it needs the licensed WinRAR tools.
