@dodona.....

I find your post confusing. 'vz' is NOT the filename on this command line. v and z are switches as in:
  • c=create
  • f=file <name of archive to be created>
  • v=verbose
  • z=compress

Theoretically, there is nothing wrong with what the OP is trying to do; create an archive and then extract it, but there's obviously something wrong syntactically or some such and until the OP provides the command lines, etc that I and vgersh99 have requested, I'm afraid we're all in the dark.
