Decompressing the files... and installing in the server

[roosevelt]

Hello,
Here's my story.

1) I downloaded a branding style (crimson_red) of skin x3.

2) The file is crimson_smoke.cpbranding

3) I unzipped the file using winrar and it created crimson_smoke but doesn't have an extension.

4) I unzipped crimson_smoke using winrar again it exported the html files.

Now when it's time for me to revert back, should I zip all the files as a tar.gz?

And how do I create skin.cpbranding file?

A .cpbranding file is essentially a .tar.gz file.
