The problem is that you do not have bzip2 installed  The tar program relies upon this external program to do compression  For installing bzip2  it depends on the system you are using  For example  with Ubuntu that would be on Ubuntu  sudo apt-get install bzip2   The GNU tar program does not know how to compress an existing file such as user-logs tar  bzip2 does that   The tar program can use external compression programs gzip  bzip2  xz by opening a pipe to those programs  sending a tar archive via the pipe to the compression utility  which compresses the data which it reads from tar and writes the result to the filename which the tar program specifies   Alternatively  the tar and compression utility could be the same program  BSD tar does its compression using lib archive  they re not really distinct except in name
