Problem is noticeabe when you have setup your gedcom using non-english characters eg. UTF-8.

When you make a backup some filenames in the created zip will be garbled fe.:
- your gedcom file, also its *.bak
- your logfiles.
- Your *_conf.php and *_priv.php

Example of garble:
"Kütük_conf.php" -> "Kütük_conf.php"

This will create problems when one actualy needs his backups to re-create his gedcom-setup....

    PS: where is the backup of your SQL data?
    One would expect somekind of dump.sql file inside this zip.....

    PGV has no idea whether you will be downloading the file to a unix machine (which supports UTF8 filenames) or windows (which expects CP1251 etc. filenames).
