1 click backup

I realize this has been suggested before, but I feel it is needed now more than ever with this whole sleugh of PWs.

The manager, and only the manager, should be able to backup the entire server with 1 click via Graal.net . To save bandwidth, the backup doesn't have to be downlaoded. As long as it is stored locally I think it will settle most problems. A downloadable backup would be nice, but to save bandwidth I think it would be appropriate to only let the backup file be downloaded once a month.

This could save the PWA a lot of headaches in the very near future. The manager should be reminded somehow, email seems right, to backup their server atleast once a month. I don't think that this would take up a whole lot of space on the server, especially if only 2-3 backups would be able to be kept on the server at any one time.

I remember when Birdbird left Graal2001, I backedup up everything, and I mean everything. It took me about 2 hours to do it in, and probabbly twice as long to restore it all. If a backup option would have been implemented then I would have saved not only tons of time for myself, but also bandwidth for GraalOnline.

I feel this option is extremely needed.
