Hey guys, I have a collection of about 8 TB of anime on my OS od choice, Arch Linux, and was wondering if there was a way I could automatically (manually is fine too) compress all content in a singular folder and store the compresses/ zipper files in another folder.

Edit: Just to be clear, the reason I want to zip/compress my anime is to back it up, not to download more anime. My plan is to:

  1. Make a copy of my folder of anime
  2. Zip/compress the copied folder
  3. Store the zipped/compressed folder on a seperate storage device (currently being stored in a 14TB hdd).
  4. If possible, set up an automatic process to continously do this process for any new anime I download.
