PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files.
WinRAR 5 has a rather useful option in some cases, which is to be able to create an archive by replacing identical files with a reference to the first occurrence (hardlink) within the archive.
In case you choose to convert the file with PowerArchiver to another format, however, the resulting archive does not have all the files. It does not consider those that were present as hardlinks.
If you do a normal extraction of the RAR archive instead, even with PowerArchivier, all the files are extracted correctly.
Backup: Write directly to zip

In your help:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/wiki/en:help:main:tools:using_backup
it has an item:
Write directly into Zip - writes directly into backup archive (without the use of a temporary folder).
Where is that?

Hi Alycat.
I believe this is the option you are looking for.

Thanks, will get that a go and see if it fixes my other problem, about hanging at the end of a backup.

thanks luxor and alycat… i have updated this in help.

Thanks.
Talking about updating, is PA still developed in Delphi 7? :D

Partially… backup and others are moved to XE2. Newer you go, slower and bigger it is.
