Send Backup by Email

How about emailing the backup file to an email address during a scheduled backup?

The reason for this is that if somehow my webhost fails, I most probably also loose my backups. Emailed backups can sort of work as "off-site" backup. This may not be very useful to large sites, but it is for someone like me who runs a personal drupal portal.

I have written some code to modify the current stable version to do just this and it is currently working on my live site. I am new to PHP and Drupal development, so if any of the DEVs think this is a useful, I would gladly like help. I would need some procedural guidance and I will pickup the technical part myself.
