Re:Hop: Faster than unzip and tar at reading individual files by kumarsw on Wednesday November 10, 2021 @06:36PM (#29182452)
For a random-access archive format that supports compression see DAR: http://dar.linux.free.fr/home.html

It doesn't seem very well known, which is unfortunate because it's much better suited for archiving files compared to gzipped tar (which is great for distributing files, but not great for archiving/backup).
