Recovery Record in WinRAR
February 4th, 2020
And if so, what %? Is it useful and effective?
Thanks for your help.
1. Right click on the file and select “Add to archive”.
2. Select compression method “Store”.
3. Tick the bottom 5 boxes.
4. Type in split volumes “104857600 or 209715200”
Surely this is one of the most easiest things of all time.

I’m interested to know what ticking the bottom 5 boxes does. Can you explain what all the boxes mean? What’s “Update Mode” too?
Sorry I’m a novice at this. I’ve only used WinRAR for extraction purposes previously.
Answer #3
Recovery record helps with files uploaded to the net, it means when downloaded, in case one or more files get corrupted, the recovery record can be used to build a working file. If you are just archiving files on your own disk, it’s not really necessary.
Answer #4
Dont think you will need Recovery Record at all cos there lesser chance of data getting corrupted when it lies on your hard drive for long.If you do still want to, I think 3-5% would be enough, but make sure you do have a back up if the file is very important
Answer #5
It’s really unnecessary using Recovery records on files on your hard drive. You would be better off making a backup of it if necessary. Hard drives do fail and a recovery record is not going to make much difference if it does.
They are okay if uploading/downloading but not for what you want to do.
Answer #6
Yep, making a secure backup (on something other than your hard drive) is a much better option.
Answer #7
Om thanks everyone.
I’ll just make a very small recovery record then, seeing as it’s only like 10MB more.
WHat do the other buttons in WinRAR do? The bottons on the same pane as the recovery record option?

Answer #9
Bump…
Answer #10
no one will know what “other” is. You need to expain your self or google winrar. or post a screen shot
if you rar a file and it extracted just perfectly, I would guess it will still be perfect down the road
Answer #11
The Archiving Options.
I’ve tried google but I didn’t really understand the explanations…
Answer #12
Delete files after archiving- This means the files your attempting to put in the archive is deleted and the stored files are to remain. Create SFX archive- This means that the completed archive will not require Winrar to extract, this tends to make the file slightly bigger.
Create solid archive- This means data redundancy.
Put authenticity verification- This means the files archived will have a small checksum data to make sure that its what it was (files get corrupted). Put recovery record- This allows you to perform a successful extraction, incase the archive gets corrupted.
Test archived files- This tests the archived files after the insert is complete. Lock archive- This means to not allow the archive to be changed. You happen to know that all programs come with a manual of some sort?
Google helps.

Google helps.What do you recommend I should use for storing a file for a long-term period?
Answer #14
I wouldn’t bother.
