7-zip's GUI is basically an incomplete WinRar clone, and WinRar has a couple more features. Most notably recovery records to be able to recover from mild bit rot, but it can also preserve more NTFS attributes of your files (saving alternate streams, security records, turning hard links into links) and can optionally respect the Archive attribute of files (archiving only files with the attribute set, clearing the attribute after, optionally deleting them).
It's a very solid archival program. I wouldn't recommend that everyone runs out and buys it, and I use 7zip more than Winrar, but it does have some advantages, especially on Windows.

- Timon3 3y agoThey just released a new beta last month. Doesn't seem very "stopped" to me.
- ComodoHacker 3y agoAfter almost a year since last stable.
- Timon3 3y agoThen call it slow development, not stopped. A stable a year ago and a beta a month ago is more active than most software out there, for which development literally stopped. Or do you have any affiliation with WinRAR?
- ComodoHacker 3y agoNo affiliation, I just use both and compare.
- unnouinceput 3y ago"...and WinRar has a couple more features" Like the one that 7zip has AES256 encryption and WinRar can't open it, that one?
