Hello all,

I just found out today that TM1 can create zipfiles, natively !
And it's even very simple with a oneliner. Run the attached process if you want to know how.

Happy TM1'ing !

Thanks Wim! A very useful one! :--)
I have already rewritten all my backup processes using your idea. It is much more efficient than 7zip: faster and needs less memory.
Now rewriting log files archiver.

Well, the compression algorithm would be far more efficient than Windows' native one, I'll give you that...

There should be a law against this sort of thing!
