vb.net controls : Looking for Backup control

My app tracks jobs in a SQL Server database. Each job has a set of
associated files (Word, Excel, etc) that must also be made available
to other users. The files can be large, but don't change much once
stored. They must be available locally (on the user's laptop) for
access when the user is disconnected.

I've been looking for a Backup control or Document Mangement control
for .Net that can be integrated with the app to manage these files.
I've also considered using Zip controls, but this seems like
reinventing and I'd like to efficiently handle incremental backups.
I've also considered storing the files in the database (and using
replication to move changes up), but this has performance issues.

Any recommendations?

Thank you.

Have you looked into using the Microsoft "Briefcase"?
