The information contained within this tool should be portable.  There 
should be a one click option for exporting all of the public or public and 
private data.  This is for the purposes of backup and data portability.

The two most logical choices for export targets are XML and Excel.  The XML 
target could be very simple to implement and represent a dump of the 
information contained within the database in its raw form.  This provides 
an easy means for backup and a possible interface for third party tools to 
interface with this application.  The option to export to Excel is more 
difficult to implement because of data types and the fact the data is 
recursively structured.  However, this type of data would be easier 
manipulated by a typical user.

While there may be other standard formats that could be used to represent 
this data, since the information included is custom and likely does not fit 
into any of these formats, this is not something that will be implemented.
