I backed up a wordpress install that I'm working on. It's around 65Gig. Is there a way to compress a tar.gz file to something even smaller? The reason it's so big is that it has ton of videos in the source code.
Here is the ls -lh

3Provided the videos are already compressed, you won’t be able the reduce the size much more. – Daniel B – 2016-03-01T17:34:58.930
1What sort of compression do you expect? Simplest solution, don't backup the videos, in the same archive as the database/source – Ramhound – 2016-03-01T17:35:45.347
videos should be much, much smaller, unless it is for LAN use only – Olivier Dulac – 2016-03-02T12:18:17.340
