file compression question

Are there any functions in .NET or Windows that do file compression that I
could include in a backup app I am making to sell?

I have notice the LZ file operations but wonder would a developer be allowed
to use them for such a purpose?

Thanks,

Shane

Hi,

Here is a link to a msdn mag article on how to use the j#
compression classes.

A link to a open source compression class written in c#.
