Using Pipes for backing up.

| Hi,
I am currently coding the backup/restore methods for our software and would
like the give a "zip" option to the user. This I think would be most easily
achieved using an existing compression program and to feed it with a pipe
from SQL Server (SQL Server 2005 Express Edition). Can anyone point me
towards a tutorial or information on registering/using a pipe to backup and
restore one or more databases?
Much appreciated,
Robin
