SqlFar

SqlFar is a new type of archiving tool allowing users to add/remove files to and from a portable SQLite database; while heavily encoding data access and other payload parameters, we call it "The Smarter Zipper Upper"

Well, its not necessarily the archive tool for everyone... SqlFar application archives are encoded with self-describing access and historical data(metadata) concerning the archive's contents, history accesses and contributes to archive integrity when passed from person to person.

The metadata encoding of Archive files facilitates the discovery of pertinent information from the user perspective while ensuring that the Archive contents will survive and continue to be accessible, unless otherwise specified, into the future.

It's compression is not as fast and won't compress files as small as other utilities but if you need the metadata encoding features then it may be useful for you.
