I've written a wee batch script to backup some stuff on my desktop and dump it
over the network to a share... The only thing that's bugging me is the verbosity 
of rar.exe while it's doing the compress part of the job.

Anyone know if it's possible to tweak rar.exe to display a status bar for the entire process
of at least suppress the output of each individual file being added to the archive.

Alternatively, if theres any other command line compression tools for windows
(winzip/7zip) that people are familiar with, I'd be happy to use those either.
Or any suggestions to make this batch job a little more robust.

```
@echo off
echo "Beginning Compress Job"

"C:\Program Files\WinRar\rar.exe" a -agyyyy-MM-dd -r "C:\Archives\" "C:\Work\Folder1\" "C:\Work\Folder2\" "C:\Work\Folder3\" 

echo "Files backed up to C:\Archives"

NET USE U: > %TMP%\JunkerFile 2>&1
IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 GOTO Success
echo "Drive Disconnected - Cannot Copy Backup To U:\"
GOTO End
:Success
        echo "Drive Connected"
        echo "Performing Backup"
        move C:\Archives\*.rar U:\Archives\
        echo "Backup Complete"
        GOTO End
:End

pause

```
