The following command will make a tar file including path information of all files in the current Vim buffer. If you wish to omit paths, leave out the ':p'.

:silent bufdo !tar -rvf archive.tar %:p

I use it to copy projects (where all files are open in split screen), from one machine to another.

Zip version - zip all the files in your Vim session.
