This double-process is similar to the more common .tar.gz , but it uses the 7-Zip LZMA/LZMA2 method for potentially higher compression ratios. Why Use .tar.7z ?

: The 7-Zip algorithm (LZMA) generally achieves a much higher compression ratio than standard ZIP or GZIP, making it ideal for large-scale archival. tar4.7z

Users typically combine these two formats to solve specific limitations of each: tar4.7z
