Rzip compressed stream .rz

What is Rzip compressed stream?

A single-file compression format intended for long-range redundancy.

Server conversion requires a compatible engine we host and a verified file variant.

Technical details

rzip is a file-compression program designed for very large files with long-distance redundancy and uses .rz as its default compressed suffix. [1]

Background and compatibility

rzip compresses named files individually; put a TAR archive inside when a compressed result must preserve multiple paths. [1][2]
