Both formats, briefly
CPIOIN
CPIO stores a stream of files together with their metadata, and it is still standard where Linux boots from an initramfs image or where an RPM package carries its payload. Desktop software rarely opens it directly. Convert a CPIO archive when you need to see what a boot image or a package actually contains.
7ZOUT
7Z comes from the 7-Zip project and packs files tighter than ZIP by using the LZMA and LZMA2 compressors. It also handles strong encryption and very large archives. The catch is that many computers need 7-Zip or a similar tool installed first, so 7Z suits your own storage better than files you hand to a stranger.
