What is Bzip compressed stream?
A historical compression extension; the actual stream must be detected.
Server conversion requires a compatible engine we host and a verified file variant.
Technical details
The .bz suffix is used for bzip-compressed data; bzip2 defines block-sorted compressed streams rather than a multi-file directory. [1]
Background and compatibility
A standalone .bz stream stores compressed bytes; adding TAR is a separate layer when multiple paths and metadata must be archived. [1]
