Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Its wide range of formats and functions help PowerArchiver compete in a category dominated by WinZip. The archive utility supports a large number of compression formats, including the new 7-Zip format, which offers extremely high compression ratios. You also can encrypt your archives using one of five secure algorithms. The program works swiftly and reliably. The configuration menu lets you customize almost every feature, including a password manager for encrypted archives, a self-extracting wizard, and an autobackup tool. The batch ZIP tool compresses hundreds of files in one shot, and the multi-extract tool unpacks hundreds of archives at once. The program now supports unlimited-size ZIP archives. Anyone who needs to work with archive files will find PowerArchiver a versatile, affordable alternative.Publisher's description

"Simple effective back up utility"
Pros: I was looking for a simple back up utility and found it in Power Archiver. Works well with the Windows based Scheduler utility. I schedule most of my activities when I am away from the computer however I use it to back up my Palm through out the day. Easy to understand and simple to use. Easy to restore archives.
Cons: While it appears to run in the background, will slow up other processes when running.
