[Server-devel] XS backup/restore feature

[Daniel Drake]

Hi Martin,

Any interest in adding functionality to the XS to back up and restore user data?

Including:
 - stuff that has been posted on moodle
 - XO backups
 - registration information

but *not* stuff where deployments should always have a master copy elsewhere:
 - activities from activity server
 - OS images in xs-rsync
 - system files
 - ...

Here's an initial implementation, which can be used to create a
single-file compressed backup which can then be copied to an external
storage device.
Backup part has been tested, but not restore just yet. Needs a patch
to idmgr create_user too. What do you think?

Daniel
