Backup and restore de database

based on the XT Dump script with the agreement of the author
Use it carrefully. For the first use, make a backup with another tool like phpmyadmin in case of problem.
I've tested on my server and it works, but if a developper can have a look it will be better  Wink
I hope this plugin can help people who are searching a backup way without using external  tools like phpmyadmin.
