Zipped a folder, then upzipped it to test it, and files are missing
I need to back up a folder that's on my HDD. Total size about 46.8 GB, 86,440 Files, 6,011 Folders.
Backup Maker created a single backup .zip file that's 42.4 GB.
So original size..........................46.8 GB, 86,440 Files, 6,011 Folders
Size after unzipping...................46.4 GB, 81,691 Files, 5,618 Folders
Size after unzipping again..........46.7 GB, 85,047 Files, 5,794 Folders
Can someone help me figure out where the missing files are? Is there an archive bit I should be checking on the source folder? (see attached). If it's relevant, the original folders to be backed up are on the local HDD, the .zip backup file is on an external SSD, and the files were unzipped back to the HDD. These results are using 7-Zip but WinRAR had similar results.
Thanks for any thoughts.
