How to open TZST on a Mac — Plesk backup - For Free

If you have a Plesk backup file with a .tzst extension, you may be wondering how to open it on a Mac. This file format is not natively supported by macOS, but you can easily decompress it using the terminal. Here's how to open a .tzst file on a Mac:

  1. Install the zstd using Homebrew:
brew install zstd
  1. Decompress the .tzst file using the zstd command:
zstd -d yourfile.tzst

Replace "yourfile.tzst" with the name of your .tzst file.

This will decompress the file and create a new file with the same name but without the .tzst extension.

There are GUI tools available to open .tzst files on Mac, but using the terminal is a quick and easy way to decompress the file for free.
