In Progress Application Export / Backup

[eugenio]

The export will automatically produce a DaDaBIK pre-packaged app (following what is explained in apps/how_to_create_a_packaged_app.txt); this is useful both for backup purposes and for building a package that you can import in another DaDaBIK installation or sell to your customers.

The feature is now under development.
You will be able to create a ZIP file containing both the DB and the full code; including or not the uploads folder will be an option.

At least for the first release, this will be available for MySQL only, since it makes use of the mysqldump utility (you will have to set the path of your mysqldump as a config parameter).

Any suggestion is welcome.

Suggestion: have the possibility to automate using cron?

Interesting but it's a bit complicated, if we had a public URL we can use to export, anybody could export your entire app. We should add an additional script outside the web root.
