Scans one or more folders on a schedule and compresses every sub-folder into its own RAR archive (adjustable compression level, recovery record, optional password and split volumes), tests the archive, adds a CRC32 to the file name or writes an SFV file, then deletes the original folder or moves it to a trash folder. Web UI with live status, settings, history, statistics and themes. Uses the RARLAB rar program in trial mode unless you add your own licence key. Created entirely by AI (Claude). It has been tested, but not in every situation - it can delete your original folders, so try a dry run first, keep backups of data you cannot replace, and do your own due diligence before exposing it to the internet.

Build 6, published 2026-11-03.
### 2026-11-04
- The Status page now shows what happens to the original folders (Recycle Bin, delete, move or keep) and where: the Recycle Bin folder on your server and how many items it holds. The log names the Recycle Bin folder at the start of a run and for every folder moved there, and Stats has a Recycle Bin tile.
- The folder locations box in Settings is now live: it follows the folders you type or pick (sources, output, move folder, Recycle Bin) and shows where each one is on your server, instead of only checking the four template paths.
- The original folder now goes to the share's **`.Recycle.Bin`** by default (the place the Unraid Recycle Bin plugin uses for files deleted over SMB). Delete, move and keep are still available; existing settings are unchanged. If the share's root is not mapped into the container, Settings says so and a fresh install keeps the folders instead.
- New optional path **All shares** (`/mnt/user`, under advanced settings in the template): with it mapped, the folder pickers and **Compress folder…** can reach any share, not only the mapped folders.
- New **Compress folder…** button: pick any folder and compress it now as a one-off job, either as a single archive or as one archive per sub-folder. It ignores the scanned folders and the schedule, uses your compression settings, and lets you choose for that run only what happens to the folder afterwards and where the archive goes.
### 2026-11-03
- First release: every sub-folder of the folders you choose is compressed into its own RAR archive on a schedule or on demand.
- Settings for the compression level, solid archives, dictionary size, recovery record, RAR threads, split volumes, password (with optional file name encryption) and files to leave out.
- Each archive is tested and compared with the folder before anything is removed; a folder that changed while it was being compressed is never touched.
- CRC32 in the file name (`Show [14337E9B].rar`) or in an SFV file, for new and for existing archives; a Check CRCs button verifies them later.
- Original folders can be deleted, moved to a trash folder or kept; archives can go next to the folders or to a separate output folder.
- Web UI with live status, settings, history, statistics, 11 themes, optional login and a build number.
