CPIO CPIO is one of the numerous file archivers that were released for the UNIX operating system. It was developed as a utility to facilitate tape backups of files and file systems as single archive files with the .cpio filename extension. It made its appearance on the UNIX platform in 1979 in Version 7 of the operating system. Compression is not supported by the CPIO format by default, however archived files can later be compressed using popular compression utilities such as GZIP.
ZIP The .ZIP file extension format is a file archive and data compression format originally developed and released in 1989 by Phil Katz. With compatible zip format software, a file or a group of files can be packed (compressed) into a single .zip archive which can later be unpacked (decompressed). The zip file archive format facilitates the distribution of multiple files as single archives particularly over the internet and networked systems. Many operating systems have native support for the file format and can usually open zip archives without the need for third party software. Microsoft windows for instance has had native support for the ZIP format since Microsoft Windows 98, similarly Apple's Mac OS includes ZIP support through its default archive file handle Archive Utility.
