RAR (and some others) supports "recovery records" and "recovery volumes" (redundant data). The cool thing about them is that with a recovery record of 10%, ANY 10% of the archive's blocks may be lost and the entire archive can be recovered. It was a life-saver back in the days of floppies.
I also worried about not having the right uncompressor when I needed it.
