These are called compression programs. They take a file (or a series of files) and compress the data. Be aware that compressing files does not always reduce the file size drastically, especially if the file has already been compressed or is in a compressed form such as some video formats. Trying to compress them can even result in a file being bigger than the original.
Many of these programs accomplish compression by finding repeating fragments of characters or data, replacing it with a unique code, and include the code and data fragment into a dictionary in the resulting compressed file. Decompressing the file is done by extracting the dictionary, scanning the file for dictionary codes and replacing them with the data fragment. The most dramatic effect is when compressing many files into one archive. Compressing a single file often will have little effect on the amount of data it takes up on the hard drive.
There are many programs that perform this function: WinZip, WinRAR, and 7Zip, zip, gzip are common and widely used. Some programs have options tospecify how thoroughly to scan the original file and how much compression should be attempted. The more compression desired, the longer it takes to scan and study a file.
Some of the compression programs also allow specifying a password to be use for encrypting the file and the password is required to extract information afterwards.
Microsoft Windows versions as well as some other companies offer the ability to compress a whole drive or directory.

File compression
Which backup method is quickest and requires the least amount of backup storage space?
Incremental
What does space intensive mean?
Space intensive means that something, such as a process, activity, or object, requires a considerable amount of physical space in order to be carried out or stored. It typically implies that the item in question consumes a large amount of available space relative to its size or purpose.
Is 4gb enough for psp?
Yeah I think it's plenty. You will see that each game has a certain amount of KB that it needs for saving. For example: Madden 12 requires 3,872 Kb of space. Gran Turismo requires only 256 KB of space. That's a total of 4,128 KB of space. 4GB is 4,194,304 KB of space. That's hardly a dent in the total amount of KB with the 4GB card.
What are the recent major space programs?
there has been no major space programs lately
Why should you reduce the amount of garbage we produce?
To reduce your carbon footprint and to let the future generation inhert a healthier environment to live in. Also we only have a certain amount of natural resources that will run out one day.
Does a solid take up a definite amount of space?
Yes. A solid has a definite shape and volume. A liquid has a definite volume, but an indefinite shape. A gas has neither a definite shape or volume.
How does smoking reduce the amount of oxygen in your body?
The inhaled smoke takes up space in the lungs which should filled with air. This in turn reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood stream because of space now filled by poisonous gases taken from the smoke.
How many countries have space programs?
Currently, there are over 70 countries with active space programs. Some of these countries have their own space agencies while others may participate in space programs through collaborations and partnerships with other countries.
