An additional bigger size reduction would be if ntfsclone [optionally] converts file names to very well compressible names. This would also have another benefit: user privacy. File names can reveal private information. I didn't think much about such _quick_ to implement algorithm. The drawback, filenames and/or extensions can reveal useful information for debugging ... e.g. how the file was created, potentially who created it, etc. A compromise could be if the extensions [also optionally] would be left unchanged.
