Reconstructing the original files from the archive is termed unarchiving, unpacking or extracting.

With the original 110 and 300 baud modems of the late 1970s, BBSes were particularly slow and file transfers were typically limited to text files ( lists of BBS systems were a common example ) and small software applications, typically terminal programs for accessing BBSes.

Suggested locations for backups are a fireproof, waterproof, and heat proof safe, or in a separate, offsite location than that in which the original files are contained.

Lossy compression depends upon the quality required, but typically yields files of 5 to 20 % of the size of the uncompressed original.

This can be avoided by only producing lossy files from ( lossless ) originals and only editing ( copies of ) original files, such as images in raw image format instead of JPEG.

When deciding to use lossy conversion without keeping the original, one should remember that format conversion may be needed in the future to achieve compatibility with software or devices ( format shifting ), or to avoid paying patent royalties for decoding or distribution of compressed files.

Omitting this character allowed the resulting files ( plus, in accordance with the rules, the size of the program that reassembled them ) to be smaller than the original file.

However, no actual compression took place, and the information stored in the names of the files was necessary in order to reassemble them in the correct order into the original file, and this information was not taken into account in the file size comparison.

The files themselves are thus not sufficient to reconstitute the original file ; the file names are also necessary.
