It is possible to extract only certain files if you need to.

To extract just directory structures only (your desktop directory, for example) from a backup called "Archive.exe" you would issue this command:

Archive.exe *\

To extract "ini" files only you would issue this command:

Archive.exe -C *.ini

The "-C" (upper case "C") tells the archive to unzip the files case-insensitively otherwise you would only get files that had a lower case or an upper case "ini" depending on what you used in the parameter.

To extract more than one type of file you would issue this command:

Archive.exe -C *.ini *.cfg *.bak

You can continue to list more types (filters) as needed.

You can use "unzip.exe" to test or extract files as needed also. For example:

unzip -t Archive.exe

This command would "T"est the archive.
