Original Message:   Yeah, tar does it for you.
bz2, gz and xz compress well, but only one file. tar doesn't compress at all, but it can archive multiple files with all the attributes. Combine them together and you've got very useful compression method for multiple files

SquashFS is also very good, that is true.
