I always zip files with the following

      pkzip -arp [filename.zip] root/subdir/*.*  root/arc.dir/

    This will recursively zip all the files and subdirectories and
their files from the *.*n, and place the filename.zip file in the
/arc.dir/ (be sure the second backslash is there).  	

    To unzip the file and the entire directory structure that you
zipped all you need do is type the following command line:

  pkunzip -d filename.zip

    By substituting the -u (update) command for the -a (add) command
you can easily write a batch file which will allow you to make weekly
backups (or daily) of your work files with ease.
