Request for implemetation

Dear McKoi developers,

My Name is Alex and I'm a Java developer from Italy.

I'm very enthusiast about this project and I've got to make a request for 
implementation.

I found the liveCopyTo method really useful, but a backup copy of a plain 
empty db
result in a @200Kb directory:
//------------------------------------
        import java.io.*;
        ....
  DBSystem session = ....
 
  session.getDatabase().liveCopyTo(
               new File("/home/databases/mckoi_backups/1/"));
//------------------------------------

I think there could be a new method as you can see here:
//------------------------------------
        import java.io.*;
        ....
  DBSystem session = ....
 
  session.getDatabase().liveZipCopyTo(
               new File("/home/databases/mckoi_backups/1.zip"));
//------------------------------------

The resulting, same backup, zip file will weight @30Kb. 

A better solution could be the next:
//------------------------------------
        import java.io.*;
        ....

  DBSystem session = ....
 
  session.getDatabase().liveZipCopyTo(
        new FileOutpuStream("/home/databases/mckoi_backups/1.zip"));
//------------------------------------
 
 
or if needed, with the same method (usage in a servlet):
//------------------------------------
  ....
 
  response.setContentType("application/zip");
  session.getDatabase().liveZipCopyTo(response.getOutputStream());
//------------------------------------

Now you could be able to stream the backup over a single zip file or over 
the net 
through a Servlet response...
..and without having to backup, zip & send 
(no disk space used, some java hosting don't permit to write).

These are only humble suggestions for a next version of McKoi Database.

If someone plan to adopt these changes or simply find this interesting, 
please email me.

I'm planning to write a McKoi DB Management Front End based upon latest 
Servlet & JSP implementation 
(Tomcat as primary target).
