Tree is right. You could use the ZIP archive module for doing that. The Linux method looks far easier to me, as given as an example on the PHP.net page:

php Code:

// Get the date
$date = date("m-d-y");

// Make Zip name
$zipname = "archive/site-script-backup." . $date . ".zip";

// Make a zip file
$cmd = `zip -r $zipname *`;
