Create an archive with Zinnia

Select files, choose a format, and create or update an archive with Zinnia.

Outcome

Create a new archive or update an existing archive from selected files.

Before you start

Select the files or folder to include and choose a destination where you can write the resulting archive. Use Power workspace for compression, split-volume, or password options.

Steps

  1. Open Zinnia’s Compress or Create action.
  2. Add files and folders, then choose a supported archive format.
  3. Set the destination, compression options, and optional password.
  4. Start the operation and wait for completion.
  5. Open the archive in Zinnia and browse a few members to verify it.

Expected result

The archive is written to the chosen destination and contains the selected files. A password-protected archive prompts for its password when opened or extracted.

Recovery

If creation fails, use a local destination, reduce the selection, or retry without an optional compression setting. Keep the source files until verification succeeds.
