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
- Open Zinnia’s Compress or Create action.
- Add files and folders, then choose a supported archive format.
- Set the destination, compression options, and optional password.
- Start the operation and wait for completion.
- 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.
