TBZ is a compressed Tar Archive file, utilizing the .bz file extension. It is created using a popular data compression program called Bzip, designed to reduce the file size of large archives for faster transfer and storage. TBZ files are often found in both Linux and Microsoft systems, since they can be recompiled for Windows systems.
Features & Technical Details:
TBZ archives are useful when saving large collections of files as it optimizes the space when compressing tarballs, which by themselves are already a compressed archive form. When decompressed, all the internal files contained within the original TBZ archive will be present in their original form. The Bzip compression format uses lossless data compression algorithms to achieve a higher compression ratio than other commonly used encryption protocols like WinZip, 7-Zip, or Gzip. Other similar file extensions include: .tbz2, tar.bz2, and .tb2.
The Bzip compression process is quite fast compared to other form of lossless compression formats, and its portability across various platforms keeps TBZ files a desirable among developers and system admins looking for an efficient way to work with archives. With tools like WinRAR, 7z, or similar third-party programs, users can easily extract and manage the content of TBZ archives just like any other compressed archive file type.
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .TBZ) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .TBZ extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .TBZ file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .TBZ extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .TBZ extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .TBZ file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .TBZ file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .TBZ file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .TBZ file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .TBZ file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
