You should be able to specify the "work"" folder which should also be an encrypted folder to prevent anything from ever being written unencrypted..

Subject: [H] zip remains


I have a script that uses Winzip to backup certain folders on secure encrypted drives. The folders are backed up into individual zip files. The script "updates" the zip file adding or changing only new or changed files.

I am wondering when Winzip does a "Update" does winzip leave traces behind. Does it in any way delete the original zip so it ends up in the un-encypted swap file?

The temp file Winzip uses I am not worried about, as the machine uses a large RAM drive as a temp folder

thanks
