Howdy, over the years, I've been making customized poser characters for people (mostly wrestling characters for Fantasy Wrestling Leagues) all of various sizes, shapes, textures, musculature, etc.  I always save the respective CR2/PNG files just in case the handler wants me to Re-pose his wrestling character for a different scene. 

Anyhow, like I said, I've been saving all the necessary files on discs, just in case I need to re-load a specific character for reposing.  However, the CR2/PNG files, along with any customized texture files I may create for a particular character (IE, adding scars, tattoos or bruises to a skin texture or adding lettering/designs to a clothes texture) take up an enormous amount of space and I was wondering if "zipping" them up for storage on a disc would be safe?  In other words, would zipping up these CR2/PNG files, as well as any texture files in PSD format, corrupt them?  If I zip them up and then unzip them later to load/use them in poser, would they still be in working order?

Also, if it is safe to do so, would it be advisable to zip EACH CR2 file separately or can I zip a Folder full of CR2 files (containing approx 20 or 30 CR2/PNG files) as one zip?

Thanks in advance......
