PHP Based file/folder backup script

A script to backup all files including dir structure from serving dir

[PSWorx]

Does anyone know of any OSource scripts to read the file/dir structure and then compress it into one zip/tar/gzip file to then be deliverd to the end user via http/https download.

Any ideas, help would be great.

we used shell scripts for this, stops you from hitting max execution errors

have the script tar and then zip the whole shooting match and save it to a wherever you want it available for download. You may even be able to push the file to wherever you want it saved/ftp'ed/scp'ed to.
