                    2. Compression
                      1. Reducing the size of the file by performing an algorithm on the original data
                        1. Loessless
                          1. The original file cant be created as no data is lost.

                            1. Some of the original data is lost and the original file can not be re-created.

                                1. A full backup is made initally. Much faster than a full backup. Takes longer to restore.

                                2. Defragmentation Software
                                  1. When a hard disk drive is new, files get onto the disk in order. When deleted they leave gaps. When new files are saved, they fill the gaps and become fragmented.
