Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the 
one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip is about as fast as gzip, compresses most 
files more than bzip2, and is better than both from a data recovery 
perspective. Lzip is a clean implementation of the LZMA algorithm.

The lzip file format is designed for long-term data archiving. It is 
clean, provides very safe 4 factor integrity checking, and is backed by 
the recovery capabilities of lziprecover.
