the best Archiving file extension?
I am planning to do some backup of my personal stuff. I have a load of pictures, music (mostly mp3 files), games (:amused
 , docs etc....I have already done backups in the past but never tried compressing them. So here are my questions, please enlighten me:cheesy:, What is the best file extension to do this? I read 7zip is the best for compressing. but what about .zip, .rar, etc? should i separate types of files and make three or four different files (I mean one for only pictures, one with only documents, etc? Is there a limit for compressing info in one file (limit of megs or number of files? Is there any risk of loosing some info on the compression process and after decompressing not finding some data? (urban legend?) Is this useful? or just if you have the means to burn a bunch of dvds with uncompressed data it is far better.
