Implemented in 3.6 ...

Goals

• easy to use
• minimum memory usage

Under Consideration

• internal vs. external backup solution (as in invoked from magnolia or standalone)
• full backup or incremental
• hot backup (on running and fully functional system)
• speed of backup (specially important when hot backup can't be achieved and system has to run 'read only' while backup is running)
