Archive name and parameters dialog: advanced options
This option has meaning only for NTFS file system and allows to save file owner, group, access control and audit information. You need to have necessary privileges in order to use this facility. Processing of security data may decrease the speed of archiving operation, so set this option only if you understand its meaning and really need it, in most cases security processing is not required for home users.
This option is supported only for RAR archives.
This option has meaning only for NTFS file system and allows to save alternative data streams associated with a file. You may need to set it if you use software storing data in alternative streams. Streams are not saved for NTFS encrypted files.
This option is supported only for RAR archives.
Store NTFS symbolic links and reparse points as links, so file contents is not archived. Such archive entries are restored as symbolic links or reparse points when extracting. You may need to run WinRAR as administrator to create symbolic links when extracting. Supported for RAR 5.0 archives only.
If archiving files include several NTFS hard links, store the first archived hard link as usual file and the rest of hard links in the same set as links to this first file. When extracting such files, WinRAR will create hard links instead of usual files.
You must not delete or rename the first hard link in archive after the archive was created, because it will make extraction of following links impossible. If you modify the first link, following links will also have the modified contents after extracting. Extraction command must involve the first hard link to create following hard links successfully. Supported for RAR 5.0 archives only.
By default WinRAR asks for confirmation before creating or unpacking next volume only for removable disks. This option forces WinRAR to ask such confirmation always. It can be useful if disk space is limited and you wish to copy each volume to another media immediately after creation.
This option is supported only for RAR volumes.
By default RAR volumes have names like 'volname.partNNN.rar', where NNN is the volume number. For RAR 4.x archive format using this option it is possible to select another, extension based naming scheme, where the first volume file in a multi-volume set has the extension .rar, following volumes are numbered from .r00 to .r99. RAR 5.0 archives do not support this option and extension based names.
This option is available only when you create RAR multivolume archive, in this case you just need to select the number of recovery volumes to create. You may also append a percent character to this parameter, in such case the number of creating .rev files will be equal to this percent taken from the total number of RAR volumes. Each recovery volume allows to reconstruct one missing volume file. You may read more about this feature here.
Minimize WinRAR to tray when starting the archiving process.
Turn PC off after completing an operation. The hardware must support the power off feature.
Wait in the queue if other WinRAR copies are creating, modifying or unpacking an archive and start the operation only when other WinRAR tasks are complete. If you are going to perform several archiving or decompressing tasks, such sequential execution can help to reduce the amount of disk seeks and improve overall performance.
You can override this option for current operation by pressing "Continue" button in operation progress window. When you press "Continue", WinRAR stops waiting regardless of other copies activity.
Specify recovery record size as a percent of total archive size. Larger recovery record allows to recover from more serious damage, but it also increases the archive size and processing time, so 3 - 10% is probably optimal. This input field is available only if you enabled "Add recovery record" option on General page of this dialog.
Opens Advanced compression parameters dialog, where you may configure different modules of WinRAR compression algorithm. Improper settings in this dialog may seriously hurt archiver performance, so use it carefully.
Selects a self-extracting module and sets a number of optional SFX parameters like a destination folder or window title. Note that SFX parameters are applicable only to Windows GUI module and are not supported by console or non-Windows SFX. The "SFX options" button is available only if you enabled "Create SFX archive" option in the General options of this dialog.
It is possible to store selected SFX options in a compression profile, WinRAR puts commands describing SFX parameters to the archive comment.
