What is a pax.bz2 file?
A PAX.BZ2 file is a PAX archive compressed using the BZIP2 compression algorithm. It combines PAXs sophisticated archiving capabilities with BZIP2s high-compression ratio. This format maintains all of PAXs advantages in handling complex file attributes and cross-platform compatibility while providing more efficient compression than GZIP.
This combination is particularly useful when maximum compression is desired for PAX archives, such as when archiving large datasets that contain complex file attributes and metadata that must be preserved. The BZIP2 compression makes the archives smaller at the cost of slower compression and decompression times. When creating PAX.BZ2 archives with ezyZip, date information is not included and empty directories are not added to the resulting archive file.
