PACOMP.EXE ARJ is great - but its not free. Also, if you don't like reading man pages - this one is real short. Usage: ------ PACOMP {-commands -commands ...} {d:}{\path\}filespec.ext {files ...} Commands: --------- a : add files to archive (default) u : update files to archive m : move files to archive (files only) p|P : store relative Pathnames|store full Pathnames c<0..2> : set compression level (0 - store; 1 - normal ; 2 - maximal) s<password> : scramble with password (must be given) o : store date using the current system's date my example: destination source pacomp -a -c1 d:\ZipFiles\DEV\EXP\dev_dat.zip D:\Oracle\Admin\DEV\exp\dev_dat.* yum. Now you have NO reason for not keeping a backup set on disk.
