Does all the compression formats that WinRAR and WinZIP does but no nag screens etc. It is deployed to our machines at work during install. Big company, no licence needed .

When you have all your stuff installed you should take an image to another drive.

Saves reinstalling if something goes wrong. There are some free tools for it, I've only used Acronis.
