Zip Archive per file

Apologies if this has already been mentioned on the forums. I had a quick look but didn't find anything.

Is it possible or are there any plans to have the backup create one zip file for each file in a backup set?

I'm a little nervous about having all files go into one huge zip file because if the zip file corrupts then you're basically up a certain creek. To me, if this happens, it sort of defeats the purpose of having a backup in the first place.

I like the idea of having a compressed backup, which might be useful in reducing the amount of space required for multiple backups (depending on the type of backed up data of course), but I don't like the idea of putting all my eggs in one basket.
