[Geek] Compression utility

[dancefloorlandmine]

We've got people currently using .zip utilities to compress files. However, we've also had a problem with at least one .zip archive corrupting, which is, technically at least, referred to as "a bugger". What, in the collected opinion of those who intermittently browse these tedious pages, is the best compression software, taking into account cost, compression performance, reliability, and recoverability/tendency to corrupt. Oh, and ease of use ...

Cheers, all!

It's mostly an interim solution until we get a NAS or similar larger storage installed - them buggers have been clogging our server drives until they are almost full, which means that backup software etc was having trouble. However, I think that I've just come up with a business case to have a CD-burner added to my desktop PC, to ease archiving files and getting them off the server ... [grin]
