Previous  Top  Next

Backup2005 Pro stores the full file name in the archive file, including the drive letter. Most zip viewers including Winzip 8.1 are able to open and display such archive files. Unfortunately the zip file viewer coming with Windows XP is unable to display such a file correctly, so this function lets you to rebuild a zip file fully compatible with Windows XP file viewer. The drive part of the archived files will be removed (file must be zipped in standard compression mode)

Select the source archive file. Click the small folder button to browse your computer. You can get detail of the archive file by clicking the small Information button.
Select the destination file. Click the small folder button to select a place and a name for the new archive file. You can't use an existing file name as a Destination file.
The archive file can be removed if the operation is successful. Click the Remove archive file....item.

Press the OK button to start.

This function uses a temporary folder (the one provided in the Standard Profile dialog box, or the standard Windows Temporary folder), so when working with a very large archive file, you must ensure that enough free disk space is available.
