Is there a reason to use bzip2 over gzip for backups?

Wait, can you even use .bz5? I thought it was just .bz2.

The command should use .tar.bz2, not .tar.bz5.

I remember that `tar` can handle compression, but I can't recall if the `-j` option was specifically for bzip2 or if it was for something else.

I feel like I might have mixed up the file extensions in my last practice. Was it `.bz2` or `.bz5`? I think `.bz2` is right, but I'm not completely sure.

I remember that the command for creating a tar file with bzip2 should use `-j`, but I'm not sure about the file extension. Is it `.bz2` or something else?

I practiced a similar question where we had to create a backup, and I think the correct command should definitely use `-jcvf` for bzip2.

This is a tricky one. I'm going to read through the choices again and see if any of them trigger a memory or seem more plausible than the others.
