Years ago I used WinZip 7.0 in my application. That version was free,
worked from the command line and it integrated well. When they wanted to
charge, I switched to Zip Genius which is free, works from the command line
and unzips a lot of stuff including .tar files. I never had the balls to
try it spanning dvds but it has never failed on zip ftp files of 140 or so
meg.
But, why do backups with zips? Do they do a compare? I believe CDBurner
does (I use it), but then you are just making a verified copy.
I have been using Nova Backup for the last 4 or more years. It compresses
and I can fit 4.8 gig with "visible" room to spare on a dvd. The buy price
is about 50 bucks and it can be annually leased for around 20. Bottom line
- it works well. Some tools are critical. To me they include Nova Backup,
Zip Genius, FileZilla, Beyond Compare, and Notepad++. The only one I pay
for is Nova and all of them never fail. What more can one ask?
If you need to zip try Zip Genius....
