How do i zip more than 1 folder and keep the dir tree

[sam]

I have on my computer a folder call (work) this folder has all the files i work on regulary, in this folder there are several more sub folders called IE Word, Excell, Access, Lotus Organizer and so on all with the associated files in them.

What i wanted to do is to make a zip or a backup of this work folder plus another 3 folders.

The problem is no matter wich way i do it Power Acrhive zips all the files but puts them all in the same folder. i would like to keep the dir tree intact if it is possible to do this.

The zip files i have made are ok but there are quite a lot of small files and if i wanted to retore 1 of them it would take ages to find the one i want it would be easer if they were in the original folder.

Hope someone can help

This looks like an wrong setting.
Whe you add the files, make sure that “full path info” is selected. It is also possible to select “Relative path info”

Hi thanks for the advice but i have tried it with the full path selected and it still takes the files out of the folders they were in and puts them all in one folder. i then have to sort them out.

Not sure if this is the best i can expect with this progam or have i got something wrong

enable option under, View> Explorer display view.
You will see the folders then. With normal view, folders are saved and shown under “Path” column.
