Compress on software, not on the device, backup to the most common
device which will do the job. If you have room, don't compress at all.
And if you have sensitive data be sure you encrypt, and use something
you can be sure of having available to decrypt. In practice that means
open source to me, I had one company go out of business after a client
standardized on their software.
I add software ECC to my most critical data, fortunately there's not all
that much I have to handle.
