Compress and archive data by combining one or more files into a zip file in LabVIEW. Programmatically creating zip files in LabVIEW lets you preserve the directory structure within the archive.

Note Zip files are a subset of archive files, which include other file formats, such as RAR, TAR, 7Z, GZ, and so on. LabVIEW supports the zip file format only.

Refer to the labview\examples\File IO\Zip\Zip Files.lvproj for an example of using the Zip VIs to create a zip file.
