My on-site backup disks are compressed volumes, on them I have zip, rar, 7z, sfx, iso, tar.gz, cbr, cbz, docx, epub etc etc. All of which I can uncompress with WinRAR (or Peazip or 7zip), to the same or another compressed volume or a regular non-compressed volume. And if I was minded I could install some plugins into my file manager and get it to do them.

OK, sorry, I was thinking of the way Windows uses a plugin to treat zipfiles as folders in Explorer (which is always one of the first things I disable!). In which case I could just browse inside the folders with Explorer and right-click and send-to and so on. I hadn't come across any plugins to do this for rar, 7z and suchlike though...
