IAM backup is package made of two classes. One
performs the backup of the selected MySQL
database, and the second restores the database.
Both classes support GZIP-compressed files for
improved performance. When performing the backup,
the user is prompted to download the backup file,
straight from the browser. Alternately, the backup
can be stored on the local server at a predefined
location. Restoring the database (or copying it to
another server) is just as easy.
