As the question states, I want to backup many small files and send them via ssh to a destination. Does rsync help?

【解决方案1】：

This works quite well, significantly faster than gzip.

tar -c --zstd src_dir | ssh user@host "cd destination_dir && tar x --zstd"

With progress

tar -c --zstd src_dir | pv --timer --rate | ssh user@host "cd destination_dir && tar x --zstd"
