Backup to standard ZIP format

Many handy features
Working with compressed files should not be more difficult than working with your web browser or word processor. In BitZipper you will find handy features like multiple open archives, searching for files in archives and export of the archive content list to Word, Excel, text or HTML format - features you will not find in the average ZIP tool.

A zip file is a collection of documents, programs or other files that have been reduced in size (compressed) and stored together in a single archive file. To access the original files inside a zip file (to "unzip" them) you need a tool like BitZipper. The reason people put multiple files into a single compressed file is to help you save time transmitting the files over the Internet, and to help you save space on your computer.
