- Device drivers like Stacker generally create a large file on your hard
- disk, and then manage it as if it were another hard disk. This means
- duplicating the operations of the hard disk down to the sector level,
- which means that programs like UnErase, DiskEdit, and EraseProtect (from
- Norton) work flawlessly. The programs work by compressing only the
- individual sectors on the disk, without regard to which file they belong
- to. This yield lesser compression than common file archivers, but it
- gives the needed compatibility.
-
- To sum up: The work great.
