gollark: SQLar™ compresses files individually, thus bad. *But* if you just batch files into chunks of 32MB or so and compress those, this is efficiency.
gollark: I have an idea for mildly improving compression efficiency.

gollark: I lost a data by accident and I need an old copy of it. Well, "need" is strong, but I would have to spend AT LEAST two minutes replacing it if I can't get it.
gollark: Which improves compression ratios thus good.
