TAR: TAR bundles files and folders, including permissions, into one file without compressing them. It's the standard on Linux and macOS and is usually combined with gzip, bzip2 or xz.
7Z: 7Z is the 7-Zip archive format. Its LZMA2 compression usually makes files 10–40% smaller than ZIP, and it supports strong AES-256 encryption including encrypted file names.
