And bzip2 will helpfully compress the daylights out of it. Here are a
couple of "ll" outputs. The first one is near the end of the bzip2
creation, and the second one is after. Note that the bzip2 archive goes
down by a factor of 24, from just under 240 gigs to just under 10 gigs.
I didn't bother compressing the hidden "restore partition". I figure it
probably has been compressed already.
