Hi Frank,

I was looking at xzip.dll.

How would you handle if you need to exclude some files from the zip? For example: make a zip of \xxx\*.* except \xxx\zips\*.zip

I can make a list of each file that needs to be backed up (over 1000), but it seemes that xzip.dll requires a separate call for each file. Doesn't that mean that with each call the existing zip file will be opened and updated? Doesn't that take a long time?

Do you have experience with a similar case? Thank you.

Alex
