This is a great Drupal files & database backup module - this should be in Drupal core!

Description
Thanks for sharing this module. It's extremely useful. Not just for backing up a drupal site (files + database) but it's also very useful for Drupal development, particularly when testing out modules...i.e. you can use this module as a psudeo "UNDO button for your database"
i.e. it's very simple to just backup your DB without hopping in and out of phpmyadmin etc. just before you install a new module that may change your Drupal database.
This module should really be in core.

PhilK, thank you for the compliments and descriptions on how to use the module.
I too use the database dump as a psudeo undo.
I'm not sure if this should be in core. But, before it does head in this direction -- I think the user interface should be improved. Do you have any suggestions?

quick suggestion for the user interface...
Not sure whether others are using the backup client-server module during development as an "UNDO" module for the drupal database, but, it would be great if a DELETE and RESTORE button (with "are you really sure?" confirmation) was added to the list of MYSQL dumps page...
In other words, a site admin could DELETE or RESTORE a previous Drupal database checkpoint.
