In 30 days? Impossible. The known algorithms can only do it for 31 day. :-)
Seriously, this is not a good question. What do you mean "how"? By doing some programming work.
Any particular concerns? Anything where a Quick Answer can really help?

And what, VB, or VB.NET?

Please see my comment to the question: what do you mean "how"? Do some work.

You can collect all files in some directory, recursively, using, one of these methods: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.directory.getfiles%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^].

With your file type it won't be a problem, but, just in case, be aware of one delicate problem I described in my past answer: Directory.Get.Files search pattern problem[^].

You can compress all the files in one somehow. In particular, you can ZIP them using one of the libraries. Please see my past answers:
Compare between two folders[^],
Extract file rar with vb.net[^].

See also this one: http://sharpcompress.codeplex.com[^].

Something like that. This is more of a work to be done; there is nothing special which requires some special advice, but you need to do the job by yourself. Any specific concerns? Anything else, where a Quick Answer could help?
