vhd or zip files to save space?

[Soogs]

Do VHD's save space by not wasting cluster space for small files?

how likely are zip files or vhds likely to get corrupted?

is one more recoverable than the other?

Any sugguestions?

cheers in advance

I thought this might be the case.
do you have a preference for zip or rar?

that makes sense.
thanks for the help. zipping from source to destination is definitely speeding up the process as well as saving space
