7-Zip

Although there are numerous freeware packing utilities available we recommend only one. 7-Zip. It is virtually all you need and it integrates after installation seamlessly into the context menu of your file manager, so usage is as easy as it gets.

7-Zip’s default archive format is recognized be the file extension “.7z”. This archiver will

  • pack and compress files and directory structures
  • encrypt them with 256-bit AES algorithm
  • pack/unpack 7z, ZIP, gzip, bzip2, tar
  • unpack CAB, RAR, ARJ, Z, LHA, cpio, smzip, JAR, ISO, rpm, deb
  • open, browse and extract data from ISO images
  • create multiple volumes, so you can even backup large amounts of data into convenient slices and burn them on CD/DVD

This is why we only recommend 7-Zip. It is almost complete, leaves very little to wish for, and is Open Source Software: reliable, fast, and easy to use.
