http://www.7-zip.org/ is a good alternative if you don't want to pay

Just tried adding a file to a RAR with 7zip and it gives some rather obtuse errors about things not working.

So, no.

Although it can make RARs from scratch, and extract them.

No I mean you have a split rar archive either in .rar .00 format or file.001 format will 7 zip recompile the splits to create its whole

Dunno about that, but it supports extracting multipart.

If you wanted to make a whole new archive, I think you'd have to extract then compress manually.

www.rarlabs.com or www.rarsoft.com gives you RAR...I personally have both on my PC mainly as some 7zip's will not be decoded by WINRAR

Re: winrar
 
7zip can recompile split archives but it's not as versative with RAR's as winRAR is.

For example, in winrar you can extract broken files. Nothing like that in 7zip. I generally use 7zip as my standard file manager and when things require some more oomph, I did out my winrar and let it handle the archives.

Open Backup and Restore Center by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Backup and Restore Center.

You can browse or search the contents of the backup.
