Anyone know how save files are compressed?

I accidentally deleted all my saves. I was trying to clean up the save folder because it makes it faster to load/save if you do. I was tired and was holding down shift when I deleted all of them, so they skipped the recycle bin and just got destroyed. I managed to get them back with a undelete utility but now they are uncompressed. Anyone know how to compress all the individual files back into a ".TheWitcherSave" file?

you got back something else thenjust get back the files with that extension

I tried but I cant find the save files with the .TheWitcherSave extension with any of my undelete utilities. Its almost like they file extracts itself when it deletes. I think I can fix it though, but I need someone's help. Does anyway have a save game backup somewhere near the end of act II? It would have to have been after you have explored the swamp and nowhere else. What I can do is open your save game with a save game editor, replace your files with mine, then recompress. It should work. Would anyone be willing to post one of their saves somewhere for me? I dont think I have the guts to replay like 30 hours of game.
