I have looked at the FAQ and the Help and have several compression questions:
1. What happened to 7-zip? I used that quite a bit as our corporate email server didn't attempt to enumerate the contents and more often than not it would work really well. Using zip files the server scans the contents and if it finds something it doesn't like then it nukes the email.
2. For Task.Archive I can't seem to grasp the options for Compression Type. Yes drive space is cheap...but so are corporations. We don't have that much space allotted to us so I maximize it by compressing my backups. No compression is not an option for me. Compress files individually results in quite a big list of compressed files, especially if you have a very deep folder structure. Separated monolithic is better and for the most part I like Global monolithic. However these two are not recommended. From reading the FAQ/Help would it be ok to use the last option if my sources are all from local hard drives plus our standard corporate share?
3. I have a task named "DesktopShortcutsDesktop" and if I choose Separated monolithic for compression my output is a single file "Desktop 2022-01-06_164450.zip". Shouldn't this file have the name of the task? Also the archive is completely empty. No folders or files. Is it because I have three sources C:\users\Dude\Desktop, C:\users\Public\Desktop, and C:\users\Dude\OneDrive\Desktop and the last one is empty? Not sure that makes sense to me. I also have the option Create new separated backups checked ON.
4. I have a task named "DesktopShortcutsDesktop" and if I choose Global monolithic for compression my output is a single file "DesktopShortcutsDesktop 2022-01-06_164752.zip". The archive has all my folders or files so I think this is working as designed.
Again thank you so much for such high quality software. I use it every day.
