Backups need more secure encryption #163

Currently the database backups are password-protected zips. Zip format is known to use weak encryption and susceptible to brute-force attacks.

Let's compress our backups with something else, like p7zip with AES-256 and header encryption.

In addition, 7z offers x2 better compression ratio: for 110 Mb dump, zip is 22 Mb, 7z & xz are 10 Mb. Also tried Brotli - 15 Mb and long compression time.
