lrztar: extreme compression, but very slow.

lrztar

$ lrztar -z ${path-to-directory}

try on your machine

The command "lrztar -z ${path-to-directory}" is used to create a compressed tar archive of a specified directory using the Lrzip tool. Here's a breakdown of the various elements of the command:

"lrztar": This is the command used to invoke the Lrzip archiver tool. Lrzip is a compression algorithm used for creating highly compressed archives.
"-z": This option is used to specify that the resulting archive should be compressed. It tells Lrzip to use its built-in compression algorithm to reduce the size of the archive.
"${path-to-directory}": This is a placeholder representing the path to the directory that you want to archive. You need to replace "${path-to-directory}" with the actual directory path on your system.

By running this command with the appropriate directory path, Lrzip will create a compressed tar archive file (commonly ending with ".tar.gz") containing all the files and subdirectories within the specified directory.
