How do I convert a ZIP file to a DUMP file?

Upload your ZIP archive to the converter, select DUMP as the output format, and click Convert. The tool extracts every file from the ZIP, preserves the original folder hierarchy and file permissions, then packages the data into a .dump file. Once the conversion finishes, download the result and optionally verify it with a checksum.

Why convert ZIP to DUMP instead of keeping the archive?

ZIP is a compressed, portable archive great for sharing. DUMP is a raw backup format commonly used by Unix dump/restore tools for disaster recovery and full-system restores. Converting a ZIP to DUMP lets you feed its contents into these legacy backup workflows, create raw block-level representations of the data, or work with tools that require DUMP's container layout instead of ZIP's compression.

What happens to file permissions, timestamps, and compression during the conversion?

ZIP stores files using deflate compression and may include Unix or DOS timestamps. During conversion, each file is decompressed and written as a raw byte stream into the DUMP container, so the resulting DUMP is larger but uncompressed. File permissions, ownership, and modification times are preserved when the source ZIP contains Unix extra fields; otherwise standard timestamps are retained. No data loss occurs in the payload, only ZIP's per-file compression is removed.
