I know you want to tar and gzip the files, but where will you store the backup files after you have created it, and how will you transfer it there? This is import because it will allow people here to suggest methods of resolving your problem if they know what tools can be used.

I am using tar with gzip backup, i am storing this backup file in internal hard disk like sample.tgz file format

My question is

 if my file will be reach 130GB OR 200GB, the tar and gzip command will support or not? if not please advice me any other backup tool like tar or any.

gzip should support the large file - I'm not aware of any size limitation on gzip.

outta.

Tools may well support a file that size support the file, but will you have room to store it on that disk? It might be better to create multiple smaller files. In addition I cannot really see the benefit of storing a backup on the same disk as the original files. That is the main reason I asked where it would be stored.
