As I told earlier these programs are optimized for extreme compression ratios, not normal home use. Normal home use means things like packing some files to send through email (you can use even tar format). Windows does its own compression in NTFS drives to save disk space. Normal compression programs are optimized for the convenience of general use by the busy individual who can't wait hours until his pack of files are compressed or extracted. And also to give a fair compression ratio.You would be comfortable with programs like 7zip and winrar in general use. Don't try the high compression archivers unless you have a machine with high processing power and you are ready to spend some time. (patience will be very much appreciated <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" />)Don't hope programs like UHA to be user friendly, but WinRK might be a good choice for you to backup your games and music. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" />There are only a few in this world who needs extreme compressions, scientists and researchers in labs (can be IT or non IT), businesses which are highly sensitive to data and which needs to manage a very large archive, government sector (law, police etc) and last. . . . . . . . . . . . .pirates! <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />Do you belong to any of the above to need extreme data compressions. I also do backups of my data, but I'll not try to compress them with archivers, suppose you want a single file from a very large archive you have burned to a CD, (winzip seems ok, but rar will take too much time to extract the file), Also you may want to use your data on another OS like Linux, You will be in deep trouble since rar is not supported in Linux. In case of a CD of music tracks, you could have played it in a CD/DVD player if it's not archived.Remember, data must be backuped, but the golden rule is that the backup data must be easily retrievable anywhere anytime. So IMHO it's convenient to have your backup CDs/DVDs in raw format than archives. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" />UHA is very popular among pirates who create game collections <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" /></blockquote>
