If you don't like bzip2, then use something else such as gzip, xz, ...
If your modern PCs also have several cores, you can benefit
from parallel implementations - pbzip2 and pigz work like
a charm for our backups, greatly reducing wallclock times.
Caveat: "pigz manyfiles*" did produce invalid streams for
second and later files, at least in some older releases I
tried. I think it was fixed later, but you'd better test.
