Cannot backup database outside the web server tree

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Set a database file name or database folder outside the web server tree.
2.Try to download the backup of the database.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Database should be downloaded, but the server shows a file not found error.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using 1.9.4.

Which
Database Extension (PDO/SQLiteDatabase/SQLiteDatabase3 - see Database
structure-tab in phpLiteAdmin)?
I'm using PDO.

Please provide any additional information below.
PLA delivers a direct link to the file but is not possible if this file is 
outside the web server tree, so it should deliver the file using 
get_file_contents() and even compress it.
Will be nice if optionally compress all files that generates PLA like CSV or 
SQL as a option. Big exports will benefice about this.

I'm renaming this issue to focus on the 'defect' part and I've opened Issue 201 
for the rest.

Fixed in revision 8cc89391ca0620acf6dfab51a47a99132adce052 (no compression yet, 
so issue #201 is still open).
