Good morning Dear, I would like to know how do I make the compression to be done in a single file. I missed this option in the Cobian Reflector version.I will be very grateful for the help!

You can use monolithic compression using zip. 7zip is at this moment not supported.

Donation made for the incorporation of 7zip.

Some Master details:
If you are so kind:

That automatically includes the following switches:

1) To copy the files that are being used.

2) To automatically allow Long Path of more than 256 characters.

3) Allow with a box to activate or deactivate the encryption of headers.
(I think this only works in 7zip and RAR)

4) That allows names with characters with accents, and letters from other countries:

Take tests of accents and letters from other countries.

5) Being able to fragment compressed files is essential.
-v
For example, the switch:
-v1900m
causes the compressed to be fragmented into 1900 Mb chunks

6) That in the supposed case, that there was the 7zip program installed, and it had a higher version than the one that comes by default in the cobian reflect program, it would automatically take the 7zip installed by the user himself.

The reason is that the latest versions of compression programs, like 7zip, always have more security than the previous versions.

And what you have to look for is that you use the maximum security possible.

7) That can be uploaded to WebDAV and to a "specific folder". VERY IMPORTANT.

8) And that the icon can be hidden, in the tray. VERY IMPORTANT.

9) And that when you make the backup, you can choose that NO message appears.

If you could also incorporate compressed files in RAR, it would be very very good, because there are people and companies with preference in this regard.
Simply saying that to compress to RAR you have to have WinRAR installed.

And that it automatically looks at the cobian program, if it is installed in the 32-bit folder, or in the 64-bit folder.

---

If you also make sure (by testing) that the "Cobian Refector" program works perfectly with WINE on MacOS and Linux, that would be perfect.

Or, it was made in JAVA, so it could work on various platforms, Windows, MacOS, and Linux,

Thanks :APP :OK
