Application Introduction
It is important to understand the difference between archive files and compressed files. An archive file is a collection of files and directories stored in a file. Do not compress archive files - it uses the same amount of disk space because all personal files and directories are combined. It is a way to store the files and directories of a collection of compressed files in one file, which uses less disk space than all single files and directories combined. If disk space is a problem, rarely used files can be compressed into a single archive file, or all these files can be compressed. [1]
