What does it matter, updating an archive with only new files or creating a new
archive each time, as i see it, creating a new archive each time has more
advantages as just appending the archive with new files.
1) You know for sure you get what you want.
2) Less computing, smaller script, quicker.
3) The file should never get corrupted.
4) The archive is then always up to date.
