Creating a tarball :-
#tar -cvf etc.tar /etc {-c is used to create tar, -v is verbose and -f is file name. Here we are creating tar of /etc directory with name etc.tar}
#tar -tvf etc.tar {View data under any tar file}
#du -sh etc.tar {This command will show the size}
#tar -xvf etc.tar {Extracting etc.tar, you need to change your pwd, where u want to extract the tar}

Zip
----
#gzip -v etc.tar {Used to compress the archive file}
#du -sh etc.tar.gz {Command will show the size after compression}
#gunzip -v etc.tar.gz {Uncompress the file}
Bzip2
-----
#bzip2 -v etc.tar.gz {Advanced compression utility}
#du -sh etc.tar.gz.bz2
#bunzip2 -v etc.tar.gz.bz2
