Don't intend to bump this topic, but it's too close to what I'm asking to create a new one.
If you have adding dumping & restoring the database on the todo list, I was wondering if you have any intent to include a cron(?) job for scheduling DB backups to be emailed to a certain address. I use the wp-db-backup plugin for WordPress to get weekly database backups emailed to me so I can assure clients that we have their sites backed up.
I just had a client accidentally delete a form submission and asked if we have a backup of the information, and we hadn't made a backup of their database yet so thankfully we had the email sent to us with all of their initial information. That being said, scheduled database backups would be a potential life-saver and a big selling point.
