bar is an archive format used for backing up and restoring files in the SunOS operating system, in version 4. Such archives were designed to be sent to tape storage, similarly to tar. For later versions it's advised to "Use tar or cpio -H bar to replace bar".
The source code of SunOS contains the sources of bar.c to read/write bar files. The SunOS-4.1.3 sources can be found on github.
