LZ4
Extremely fast compression algorithm
LZ4 is lossless compression algorithm, providing compression speed > 500 MB/s per core (>0.15 Bytes/cycle). It features an extremely fast decoder, with speed in multiple GB/s per core (~1 Byte/cycle). A high compression derivative, called LZ4_HC, is available, trading customizable CPU time for compression ratio. LZ4 library is provided as open-source software using a BSD license. This benchmark simulates simple "static content transfer" scenario such as OS Kernel compression or video game's static assets (text/images/tables/scripts/etc) which loading from Flash Memory / HDD / SSD. In this case, compression time is completely ignored. Because only content developers compress the data at once and usually they don't care about its computational cost. But they always care end user's experience a.k.a. "loading time" and bandwidth. Please pay attention to "LZ4HC -9" which is quite faster than other methods. -

restic
Fast, secure and efficient backup program
Restic is a backup program that is designed to be easy to use, fast, secure and efficient. It makes doing backups a fast and frictionless process, so you can backup your files every day if you need to. It supports backends for storing backups natively, including on the local directory, sftp server (via SSH), HTTP REST server (protocol rest server), OpenStack Swift, among many others. It also uses cryptography to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of your data. Restic supports Windows, macOS and Linux operating systems, as well as FreeBSD and OpenBSD. -

Kopia
Cross-platform backup tool for Windows, macOS and Linux
Kopia is a fast, secure, and open-source backup and restore tool designed to help users and administrators protect important data by creating encrypted, deduplicated snapshots and storing them in a range of local, network, or cloud storage locations. Instead of imaging entire machines, it focuses on backing up selected files and directories with efficient incremental backups that only transfer changed data, which reduces storage and bandwidth needs. Kopia has both a command-line interface for automation and scripting as well as a graphical UI for interactive use, making it suitable for advanced users and those who prefer visual tools. Its architecture supports end-to-end encryption, optional compression, and deduplication, so multiple backups can share data efficiently, and repositories can be stored securely even in untrusted locations. -

Zstandard
Zstandard - Fast real-time compression algorithm
Zstandard is a fast compression algorithm, providing high compression ratios. It also offers a special mode for small data, called dictionary compression. The reference library offers a very wide range of speed / compression trade-off, and is backed by an extremely fast decoder (see benchmarks below). Zstandard library is provided as open source software using a BSD license. Its format is stable and published as IETF RFC 8478. The negative compression levels, specified with --fast=#, offer faster compression and decompression speed in exchange for some loss in compression ratio compared to level 1, as seen in the table above. Zstd can trade compression speed for stronger compression ratios. It is configurable by small increment. Decompression speed is preserved and remain roughly the same at all settings, a property shared by most LZ compression algorithms, such as zlib or lzma. -

WinRAR
Compress, Encrypt, Package and Backup with only one utility
WinRAR is a powerful file archiver and compression tool that supports multiple file formats, including RAR and ZIP. It is widely used for compressing large files into smaller, more manageable sizes and decompressing files into their original format. WinRAR offers advanced features for both personal and professional use, such as file encryption, password protection, and splitting large files into smaller parts for easier storage or transfer. Its intuitive interface makes it easy for users to compress, encrypt, and share files quickly and efficiently. -

RoboMirror's aim is to provide a very simple and user-centered GUI for Robocopy to allow for easy synchronization of two directory trees, e.g., to perform a robust incremental backup, both locally (e.g., to an external hard disk) and across the network. Additionally, RoboMirror supports volume shadow copies. By using shadow copies, all files can be copied, including files locked by running processes (Outlook, SQL Server...).

DAR - Disk ARchive
For full, incremental, compressed and encrypted backups or archives
DAR is a command-line backup and archiving tool that uses selective compression (not compressing already compressed files), strong encryption, may split an archive in different files of given size and provides on-fly hashing, supports differential backup with or without binary delta, ftp and sftp protocols to remote cloud storage Archive internal's catalog, allows very quick restoration even a single file from a huge, eventually sliced, compressed, encrypted archive eventually located on a remote cloud storage, by only reading/fetching the necessary data to perform the operation. Dar saves *all* UNIX inode types, takes care of hard links, sparse files as well as Extended Attributes (MacOS X file forks, Linux ACL, SELinux tags, user attributes) and some Filesystem Specific Attributes (Linux ext2/3/4, Mac OS X HFS+) more details at: http://dar.linux.free.fr/doc/Features.html -

Brotli
Brotli compression format
Version 1.0.9 contains a fix to "integer overflow" problem. This happens when "one-shot" decoding API is used (or input chunk for streaming API is not limited), input size (chunk size) is larger than 2GiB, and input contains uncompressed blocks. After the overflow happens, memcpy is invoked with a gigantic num value, that will likely cause the crash. Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression. The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in RFC 7932. Brotli is open-sourced under the MIT License. You can download and install brotli using the vcpkg dependency manager. -
