This DIEMON will monitor the state and settings of your sound card.

Plugging in headphones, brightness buttons on the laptop, etc.

Masking wonвЂ™t likely break anything visible.

acct tracks things like how long youвЂ™ve been logged in, which commands youвЂ™ve run, etc.

It can safely be disabled if you donвЂ™t care about account and session usage stats.

ItвЂ™s used mostly for graphical apps that handle users.

It can safely be disabled, because dbus will start it when needed.

Bunsenlabs or puppy Linux for low spec machines.

Ever so slightly worse compression than gz? Approximately 1MB diff.

tar вЂ“use-compress-program=вЂќpigz вЂ“best вЂ“recursiveвЂќ -cf /media/leo/Ventoy/Backup/ ~/*.

Josh and I have been playing around with pigz, which is a rewrite of gzip to include multi-core CPU support.

All the algorithms seemed to have saved me about 10% on the backup.

7z a /media/leo/Ventoy/Backup/home.7z ~/*.

tar -cjf /media/leo/Ventoy/Backup/2 ~/*.

tar -czf /media/leo/Ventoy/Backup/ ~/*.

tar -cJf /media/leo/Ventoy/Backup/ ~/*.

Mostly downloaded files like a Lineage image, nyquist plugins for audacity, and a little more than half of the size is pictures.

I currently have a 1.2GB home folder on this machine.

It wonвЂ™t tell you the status of the whole compression process, but will tell you the status of each file, at least letting you know that itвЂ™s working and will exit automatically when done.

For long compressions, install and use progress to monitor that state of tar.

I cannot use that to compare against my other findings because it was not the same file I was compressing but I think it would perform close to the others. In a later test of compressing a folder I had it actually did use all my cores to compress and the time it took was not that long. I am not sure why this is but it is supposed to be multithreaded but when looking at htop only one thread was in use.

dd if=/dev/nvme0n1p3 | pv | pigz -9 > /mnt/backup/.

The compressed size was a little larger than the other two at 387GB and the command I used to achieve all this was.

partclone.ntfs -c -s /dev/nvme0n1p3 | pigz -9 > /mnt/backup/.

The compressed size as I have stated earlier is exactly the same as Rescuzilla at 383GB.

Partclone + pigz came in second at 57 minutes.

I am unsure of the exact command it uses. The compressed size was tied with Partclone+pigz at 383GB.

Rescuezilla won the speed of compression coming in at 55 minutes.

I tried both 7z and gzip but for this task both of them take way too long at over 5 hours estimated time. img backups of my internal nvme drive with about 506 GB of data on it using dd and partclone to image the disk and pigz to compress. dev/sdb is a 512 Gb drive with only 145 Gb freeвЂ¦ Maybe I should check compression on my external, but IвЂ™m not sure I have room anywhere for a file which would hold all that. tar.7z for comparison with no difference.

In fact, my Home folder was only 1.5 Gb running compression, the resulting files were each 1.7 Gb.

I keep most of my files most people keep in Home on an external drive, so there wasnвЂ™t much in my Home folder to compress.

Just for comparison, 7Gb is larger than the 6Gb HDD I had in my first Windows PC back in late 1998 and that was a decent amount of storage for the time, lol. tar.gz on my desktop folder which was 40.3Gb I backed this folder up to one of my external 4Tb drives I use for backup and storage and after completion the new folder was 33.3Gb so a saving of 7Gb just on this one folder, so if space was an issue this would be a good way to backup folders and save some space. So I used tar.gz in order to test the compression on my Downloads folder which started out as 58.8 gb and ended up at like 55 gb so not much savings in space.I tried to use the built in tool to compress my home drive but kept running into permissions problems even as root.In our Innards section, we talk CompressionДЄnd finally, the feedback and a couple suggestions
