Convert archive From tar.gz to tar.bz2

A TAR.GZ file is a combination of two different packaging algorithms. The first is tar, short for tape archive. It’s an old utility, invented mainly for accurate data transfer to devices without their own file systems. A tar file (or tarball) contains files in a sequential format, along with metadata about the directory structure and other technical parameters.

tar. bz2 file is a TAR archive, compressed with a Burrows-Wheeler (BZ2) compression algorithm, along with Run-Length Encoding (RLE) for better compression. Most commonly, this file format is used for distributing software packages on Unix based operating systems like Linux.
