What is TAR.7Z archive?
A TAR archive wrapped in an additional compression stream; extraction requires both stages.
Server conversion requires a compatible engine we host and a verified file variant.
Technical details
A .tar.7z file stores TAR bytes as a 7z archive member; the inner TAR blocks carry paths while the outer 7z format packs the stream. [1][2]
Background and compatibility
A reader must extract the 7z stream before traversing the TAR member headers and contents. [1][2]
