for backing up your MySQL db, you should check out the console command for mysqldump (or mysql_dump, I forgot) in combination with the exec() function.

for uploading bigger files, check the following

in php.ini

post_max_size = 8M; (set this to a higher number)
file_uploads = On; (make sure this is 'On')
upload_max_filesize = 8M (set this to a higher number)
memory_limit = 10M (set this somewhat higher than post_max_size)
max_execution_time (depending on the upload speed of client, you might want to set this to several minutes)

in httpd.conf (or whatever your apache config file is)
limitrequestbody = XXX (set this to your convenience)

Koen.
