Ah, sorry for the misunderstanding. I guess you've explored using a
compressed filesystem?
Of course, but there is no such thing in Linux.
Ok, there are a few, but either they are read only, or only accept a
limited size and number of files. A read/write compressed filesystem
for general use does not exist in Linux, AFAIK.
For backup use it would be sufficient if files were compressed, a bit at
least; things like email compress a lot easily. Yea, I know, storage is
cheap nowdays. But compressing is even cheaper, and in my country next
year they'll charge 12..13€ extra per HD unit as kind of multimedia tax,
to pay the authors of the songs I never buy nor copy nor listen to.
