### Archive Test Coverage
All entity types are tested in `internal/backer/utils_test.go`:
| Entity Type | Test Function |
|------------|---------------|
| Regular file | `TestCreateTarGzStreamBasic` |
| Empty file | `TestCreateTarGzStreamEmptyFile` |
| Directory | `TestCreateTarGzStreamDirectory` |
| Symlink | `TestCreateTarGzStreamSymlink` |
| Broken symlink | `TestCreateTarGzStreamBrokenSymlink` |
| Symlink to directory | `TestCreateTarGzStreamSymlinkToDirectory` |
| Hard link | `TestCreateTarGzStreamHardLink` |
| Character device | `TestCreateTarGzStreamDeviceFile` (falls back to char device) |
| Named pipe (FIFO) | `TestCreateTarGzStreamNamedPipe` |
| Special characters in names | `TestCreateTarGzStreamSpecialCharacters` |
| Nested files | `TestCreateTarGzStreamNestedFiles` |
