How to compress a folder recursively with 7zip. Exclude all .log, .gz and .tar files
7za a some_archive.7z C:\Users\User\Desktop\* -r -x!*.log -x!*.gz -x!*.tar
Example
7z a -t7z my-target-archive.7z source-file.iso -mx7
if it takes a lot of resources you may want to do this (as root of course) (thanks George Valkov)
