Since ZIP format is generally used to back up data files, it wouldn't do if it were lossy. ZIP has never been lossy, and I've been using the ZIP format to backup files since the early days of DOS. Actually, PKARC before that, which was the precursor to PKZIP when PKWARE was sued by SEA (makers of ARC).
