A backup script would be nice. It should do the following:

read the coursespw.php to get correct db and credentials to dump
gzip and tar (or use other compression tool) the whole LenaSYS structure including uploaded files
put this compressed file in the users home directory with filename lenasys-backup-[date]-[optional-nr].tgz

How should we deal with the coursesyspw.php? Include it? File structure like this:

lenasys-backup-[date]-[optional-nr].tgz
- coursesyspw.php
- database-dump.sql
- filestructure.tgz

Actually not too keen on including coursesyspw.php ... seems lika a security risk, i.e., easy to get passwords in wrong hands ...
