You can use bzip2, it saves a lot of space in your hard disk
even saves time for download
eg Type "bzip2 -cjf dir1.tar.bz2 /home"
If you want to save the compressed directory to a home
dirctory or you may specify the destination you want to save
the bzip2 directory, it will be identified by .bz2 extention
after saving
You will then need to extract it using bunzip2 to extract it
before using it.
