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 ZIP file?
ZIP – ZIP archive. ZIP is the most widely supported archive format: every operating system opens it without extra software. It compresses each file separately, usually with Deflate, so single files can be pulled out quickly.
