For the nerds out there - 7za command line

Here's how to compress all the contents of a directory using 7zip on linux. This will create a new file called Cushman8-371-appliance.zip. Specifying -tzip means to use the most compatible zip format.

This is necessary on linux as zip on linux doesn't support files larger than 4GB.

[purisma@as01 virtual_machines]$ 7za a -tzip -r Cushman8-371-appliance.zip mydatafordnb-3.7.1-Cushman8/*
