feature request: backup and restore from the web #788

I want to pickup #336 again.

I know you said that backup and restore are out of scope, but I want to ask you to think about this again.

This project has "web" in the name, and the problem with pg_dump and pgadmin4, when it comes to backups, is that they only allow you to store a backup in the hosts file system.

There are scenarios, where you just have to database connection string and no access to the host machine. In this case you can create backups with pgadmin, but you cannot get to them.

I see this as a opportunity for pgweb to stand out, I mean you have 'web' in the title, so it would be cool if we could do everything from the web.

To do this, the way I see it, you either have to be able to download the file via the browser or display it in a textarea in plaintext, so it can be copied.

Thanks
