TODO:
  - exporting to server file >2GB fails in 32bit operating systems - needs warning
  - we may run out of disk space exporting to srever file - we must verify the file is not truncated; read from the end of file?
  - when sending file >4GB - FAT32 limit, Apache limit, browser limit - needs warning
  - there must be some form of progress bar during export, transfer - new tracking class could be passed around
  - command line operation - could work around some 2G/4G limits in PHP; useful for cron full backups
  - by default allow exporting into empty database only (no tables with the same prefix yet)
  - all dangerous operation (like deleting of all data) should be confirmed by key found in special file in dataroot
    (user would need file access to dataroot which might prevent various "accidents")
  - implement "Export/import running" notification in lib/setup.php (similar to new upgrade flag in config table)
  - gzip compression when storing xml file - the xml is very verbose and full of repeated tags (zip is not suitable here at all)
    this could help us keep the files bellow 2G (expected ratio is > 10:1)
