My task is that i have to backup the selected files from the local machine to the SERVER.

The VB application has a treeview from where the folders/files(any files) are selected and saved at the desired folder(which can be selected from a commondialogbox).I what to know if --the files/folders being backuped can be compressed and saved( so as to save the space).If possible i want to also know how can the files/folders be restored back into the same type of file.I want to do this through the VB Coding.

--thankyou
