Reason: a few (or one) byte error makes the tar unrecoverable.
In reality, Carlos, exactly how many of these have failed for you?
Yes, I have to wonder that too.
It is rare, but it is documented. Media failures are possible, and if one happens in the middle of a tar.gz you lose it completely.
Sure, but every archiving tool is vulnerable to media and network failures, tar no more so than any other.
In those years, I've had a grand total of ZERO tar.gz archives fail.
Ditto.
How many in floppies?
