I don't know about today. But WinRAR could handle very large files without issue. It would automatically breakup a huge file into a series of smaller compressed files. 7zip AFAIK struggled with larger files. I don't know if things have improved or not.
- kibibu 3y agoThat was my first encounter with RAR in the dos days - multiple volume archives, with each 1.44 filled to the brim.

- nijave 3y agoNot sure what's considered large but I've created 50-150GiB (after compression) encrypted archives with 7zip just fine
- rawgabbit 3y agoThis was years ago when I had database backup files to be SFTP from New York data center to California. The backups were half a terabyte or more. It was quite an ordeal back then.
