It was my backup copy just in case. Time passed and today I've decided to extract some valuable info from it, of course, the sources of the content in archives were deleted some weeks ago. One of the archives wasn't opened. I saw unpleasant message: "The file or directory is corrupt and non-readable". Another archive opened correctly. I understood that I had to make repairing zip data. But built-in feature didn't solve my trouble with error.
