File extension TAR - Unix standard Archive format, Tape Archive
File extension TAR description:
The TAR file extension is commonly used for Unix standard archive file format. A *.tar file contains multiple files stored as one archive created with the Unix tar program. These files are not automatically compressed, so they are often compressed with Gnu Zip (which creates a *.gz file).
A filename that ends in ".tar.gz" is a TAR archive that has been compressed with Gnu Zip compression; sometimes the shortened .TGZ extension is used as well.

TAR
The Tar program provides the ability to create tar archives, as well as various other kinds of manipulation. For example, you can use Tar on previously created archives to extract files, to store additional files, or to update or list files which were already stored.
Initially, tar archives were used to store files conveniently on magnetic tape. The name "Tar" comes from this use; it stands for tape archiver. Despite the utility's name, Tar can direct its output to available devices, files, or other programs (using pipes), it can even access remote devices or files (as archives).
