I don't have time right now, but I will try to add this info to the OP when I get a chance.

Thanks!
Another freebie is 7zip which can be used from your file manager (right click). The archive can be set to synch so your back up is incremental and takes less time. WinRar is probably the same.

The biggest advantage of zip archives is they are a single file. When you move it to external storage it takes only a fraction of the time to transfer.
