Follow-up: 7z create individual archive for each file

[dvdom]

Last week, you guys helped me create an archive for each folder in 7z.
Here is the command: for file in ~/Desktop/to_backup/*; do 7z a -pMyPassword -mhe ~/Desktop/backup/"$(basename $file)".7z "$file"; done

However, I have huge amounts of data in my directories and would prefer not to compress each directory. I would like to compress each individual file and have the compressed file made using the same folder structure.

Example:
~/Desktop/to_backup/
Directory_1:

File_1.xxx​

File_2.xxx​

Directory_2:​

File_1.xxx​

File_2.xxx​

​

After running the backup:​

~/Desktop/backup/
Directory_1:

File_1.7z​

File_2..7z​

Directory_2:​

File_1.7z​

File_2.7z​

​

Can you guys help me with this?​

Sorry I didn’t get a chance to follow up your request. I’ve been busy. I have an idea, but I’m away from home this weekend. I don’t have my laptop available to test it.
I’ll try to respond in the next few days!
