- Description
- An ARC archive is a compressed file archive from the MS-DOS and bulletin-board era, made by SEA's ARC program; unrelated to Norton backup files that also use .arc.
- A 7Z file is a type of compressed archive that uses the open-source LZMA compression algorithm to reduce the size of the file. This type of file is often used to store multiple directories and files in a single, compressed package. 7Z files can also include strong AES-256 encryption for added security. They are commonly created using the 7-Zip utility developed by Igor Pavlov.
