Yes. (Just tar, make copies, and experiment.)  Your hook event can
be anything -- even bulk folder encryption is an option.

I've done both these in the past, but not at present so I'm afraid I
don't have any specific examples.  I finally decided that compress-hook
was suboptimal, and instead I use dynamic compression and deduplication
at the filesystem layer.  It's delightful.
