I’m trying to backup the complete contents of a directory using:
pacomp64 -parcz T:\BACKUP.PA C:\STUFF
The contents of subdirectories of C:\STUFF isn’t getting backed up!
The sub directories are just stored as empty directories!
How do I achieve this ; show me a command line example !
Hello @Mili,
thanks for your help in getting my PowerArchiver CommandLine license (Re: License Code Not Working / Missing) and sorry for my late reply. I do check my spam folder regularly and couldn’t find a mail from support. Also, there was no mail in my backups or any mention of it in my email logs.
I have a question regarding my licenses in the hope you are able to help me:
While my account lists “PowerArchiver Select - lifetime free upgrades and support for PowerArchiver Toolbox English - Count 2”, this does not apply for PACL, which was included with my purchase. My account shows only PowerArchiver Select - 12 months of upgrades and support for PowerArchiver Command Line - Single User License.
Since PACL was included with PowerArchiver Toolbox, shouldn’t PACL also come with a lifetime license for 2 PCs?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Version:
PACL 9.00 Beta 2
What’s New since version PACL 7:
Updated to PowerArchiver 2017 engine Fully unicode interface RAR v5 (v4) support PAE2 supportLatest format support and all the various engine updates done in PA 2017.
Full support for .PA format with many different options and switches.
Download:
http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2017/PACL900-170429.EXE
Due to the support of new PA format and all the changes needed for that support, we decided to move up version number to PACL 9. This is purely cosmetical - companies who purchased PACL8, have PACL9 now added to their orders. Users who have free upgrades for PACL8, now have PACL9 added as free upgrade (Business users with active select (pro/tbx), all personal users (pro/tbx).
Since we are finalizing PA 2017, we can also now spend a lot more time on PACL9.
Please check your bugs, and check .PA support as well.
Thank you! @Alpha-Testers

The version number and date of the program: PowerArchiver Command Line v9.00b [Feb 23 2019]
The program not extracts one self-extracting file.
How to reproduce the problem
Download the SFX file by link: install.exe
Copy the “install.exe” file into the same location as the program is located.
Go to the DOS prompt. Make your PACL location the default drive.
If it is on the E drive enter the command E: and press enter. Replace “E:” with the appropriate drive letter.
Enter command cd e:<path name> to go to the location where the program resides.
Enter command:
As a result, the “install” directory will not be created and no
files will be extracted.
The “install.exe” file may be damaged but if you use a program such as 7-Zip or PeaZip to extract the files, the extraction process is successful. I want the PACL to also unpack such a file.
This problem is very critical for me. I often come across this. I do not want to resort to using other compression program.

Hi,
there’s a problem with PAComp and file names with a leading ".\ ".
That’s nowadays a problem, since PowerShell auto complete will complete a file test.zip in the current directory to .\test.zip.

The first command reports “All OK”, but test.7z is not created.
The second command reports an error, but the error message isn’t helpful at all. VSS doesn’t help anything if a program fails to write to a file. It’s for reading locked files… And the problematic file isn’t mentioned at all. By the way, there’s a typo, it should be “open”, not “opet”.
Only the third command (without ".\ ") works as expected.
The problem exists in the x86 and x64 version, it doesn’t matter if the archive already exists (updating) or not (creating a new archive).
would be nice to have czip support

I am Having Appcrash mid problem in my Pc.
Hi,
I’ve made changes to fix some problems with PAConv.bat:
1. Replaced the “” by () in the first two lines, so that it’ll work with command line arguments in quotation marks
2. Replaced deltree with rmdir, since deltree is unknown at least in Windows XP and later
3. Also replaced the del command, which left an empty $PATEMP$ directory with rmdir
4. Changed $PATEMP$ to “%TEMP%$PATEMP$.%time::=%”, so that no write privileges are needed in the current directory as the users Temp directory is used and that more operations will work simultaneous, as long as they are not started at the very same time.
5. Changed %n to “%~n” to allow parameters with spaces and quotation marks
"CRC Error" on PACL but not Power Archiver
-
I have some zip files which produce a “CRC Error” when extracted using PAEXT.
The strange thing is that if I try and extract the same file using Power Archiver, there is no “CRC Error” and the extracted file is identical (same MD5SUM).
Does anyone know what may be causing this? Is the zip file corrupt (in which case Power Archiver is failing to pick up on the corruption), or is the zip file fine (in which case PAEXT is incorrectly flagging an error)?
Many thanks,
Chris -
Maybe:-
PAEXT : ZIP v4.5 format (extra large archives) is not supported.Whereas it is supported by PowerArchiver.
-
Is there a way that I can confirm whether Zip v4.5 format is causing the problem? The zip files are not particularly large (about 100Mb).
What is strange is that the “CRC Error” only applies to about 5% of the files I try and extract this way - the rest are fine. And even if there is a “CRC Error”, the extracted file still seems to be identical to the file extracted by PowerArchiver. Is this likely to be caused by the v4.5 format?
Thanks,
Chris -
The 4.5 format allows “large archives”.
This is used when :-
A) Number of data files/folders >65500 (approx)
B) Size of data files before compression >4GB
C) Size of zip file after compression >4GBSo if your zip file is only 100MB, I doubt B) or C) apply.
Only you know if A) applies to these zip file(s) :DI can only guess at possible differences that are NOT really errors in PAEXT or PowerArchiver.
If you know how to create one of these zip files or if you provide an example zip with the problem (e.g. url to access a “bad” zip file) then it could be checked by PACL/PowerArchiver devs. If not, all we can do is guess.
