Backup and restore of zabbix database in Gui

[Fredrik Developer]

It would be really good to be able to do a backup & restore of the zabbix database directly in the GUI.

Then you could to a backup and add a new version of zabbix thru appliance and restore the database and be up and running again with a new refresh version of Zabbix

Also to have a scheduled backup and ftp the zip to another location.

Not possible.
It would be working only in case relatively small databases.
In most cases doing DB backup over SQL interface is incredibly slow.
Doing any backups on main database instance even in case average databases even by reading all files and zip them may cause serious performance impact as doing such backup over VFS layer is trashing all MFU data.
Only way to deal with above is cange DB from single instance to master<>slave and do binary backup on slave.
