TAR (Tape Archive) is a file format used primarily in Unix and Linux environments to bundle multiple files into a single archive. TAR does not compress files by default but is often used with compression utilities like Gzip or Bzip2 (e.g., .tar.gz). It preserves file structure and metadata, making it ideal for backups, distribution, and package management. TAR is popular in software development and system administration for managing and deploying groups of files efficiently.

RAR is a proprietary archive file format developed by WinRAR. It provides strong compression, error recovery, and support for splitting archives into parts. RAR files are commonly used to package software, compress large files, or split data for easier transfer. Unlike ZIP, opening RAR files typically requires specific software such as WinRAR or other compatible tools. It is widely used for secure and efficient file storage, especially when handling large or numerous files.
