I have a client who wants me to send him a tar.gz compressed archive of a website I am developing locally. I usually use 7-Zip to compress files simply because it's free but I don't know if it can create a tar.gz file. I understand you usually do it in Linux from the command line but I would prefer some sort of utility.

It's hard to tell what is legitimate online, so I'd prefer using a trusted source.

7-zip can make a tar file and a gz file. I don't know. Can you make a tar and then gzip it?

No idea. I'll have to check. Do you know what the fundamental difference is between simply using 7-zip to create an archive and creating a tar.gz file? Is the tar.gz more reliable when it comes to the risk of data loss?
