The TAR utility is not used for compressing as told by Mr
Sudeep.It's primary purpose is to bring together all the
required files into one location and it has the extension
".tar".In order to compress this archieve we use tools like
gzip,bzip . Any archieve compressed with gzip has the
extension ".tar.qz".

Utility used for compression on Linux is "tar". Along with
it "bzip" can also be used to compress it further.

Answer / donald mthombeni
You can use bzip2, it saves a lot of space in your hard disk
even saves time for download
eg Type "bzip2 -cjf dir1.tar.bz2 /home"
If you want to save the compressed directory to a home
dirctory or you may specify the destination you want to save
the bzip2 directory, it will be identified by .bz2 extention
after saving
You will then need to extract it using bunzip2 to extract it
before using it.
