Ah, I misunderstood you there, yes you can build it from source but there are also Windows binaries available on https://github.com/fhanau/Efficient-Compression-Tool/releases/
Consider running a home server. A mini pc like this is powerful enough to serve files and stream videos and can be more convenient than plugging your external drives into your desktop PC every time you want to do a backup and it can run 24/7 while using very little electricity. You can also install services for your users like Homepage and Photoprism and many many more. Learning about Linux and Docker is a huge benefit there.

Consider a VPN like Tailscale. It'll let you access your machines while you are out of your home network and it is free and easy to setup and doesn't require you to open any ports on your router.
Look into syncthing for automatically keeping different machines in sync. I don't know if it'll run on your Nvidia shield, but it can pause and resume transfers as needed automatically. Just be careful because if you delete a file on one machine it can delete it on the other too.
Look into restic for making backup snapshots. I use it for photos and documents. It'll save you from accidentally deleting files and lets you recover old versions of files.
A mini pc is just like any other pc except it is too small to hold many drives and it isn't powerful enough to act as a desktop pc. You can certainly get minis that are powerful enough to be a desktop pc, but not that little $200 machine. I have a 2TB NVMe and a 4TB SSD in mine and I control it via web services like Portainer and SSH.
