1 Hello list,
2
3 I have an external USB-3 drive with various system backups. There are 350 .tar
4 files (not .tar.gz etc.), amounting to 2.5TB. I was sure I wouldn't need to
5 compress them, so I didn't, but now I think I'm going to have to. Is there a
6 reasonably efficient way to do this? I have 500GB spare space on /dev/sda, and
7 the machine runs constantly.
