pkt 2.4

An universal XML packet archiver that can manipulates files for backing up documents and transferring them pkt uses plugin filters to do the job and handles virtually any format available if there is a plugin for it. pkt handles encryption, decryption, compression, parity checking, decoding, conversion, repairing, rebuilding and other tasks using a universal file format (XML based).
By default all pkt output is in 7-bit ASCII which is UTF encoded and is compatible with XML parsers. pkt files can be disassembled, reassembled and repaired by hand if necessary.
pkt also supports the use of 8-bit compressed XML packets for its archives using one of several compression algorithms. In general, pkt will try to use the best algorithms available. pkt uses multiple pluggable user interfaces including GUIs and CLIs.
