 * The SQL file created by the backup process is too big for upload by phpMyAdmin.
   phpMyAdmin has a maximum file size for import of 8192kb. my sql file is now bigger
   than that. Could you include an ption to save the SQL file as zipped or gzipped
   please
 * also – any news on fixing of export to use NULL rather than ”
