To keep all versions during extraction: Use rar x -ver [archivename] .

By default, when you update a RAR archive, the old file is overwritten. Using the -ver switch forces the archive to keep previous versions, renaming them with a numeric suffix (e.g., filename;1 , filename;2 ). How to use it:

if you want to share a "life hack" for organizing large projects or software files.

if you are writing about nature, conservation, or interesting facts about animal populations.

These are even more elusive, making up less than or equal to 1% of the population.
