Possibility to make a complete backup of the project #135
Description
It would be useful to have the possibility to create a complete "backup" of the project in the online mode. At present, it is possible to separately download codes, segments, memos, log, but not the entire set. I suggest creating a button on the project screen that exports all the tables in csv format and zip them into one file. The button will be functional for a user with permission to change permissions, as it corresponds to the role of the project admin.

If backing up an entire project, it might also be worth considering adding support for the QDPX (REFI-QDA) standard, which would enable data transfer to/from other qualitative software.

@ndporter yes, REFI-QDA is definitely on the roadmap, though import will likely be implemented before export. Unfortunately, as REFI-QDA is a minimal interoperability standard, it cannot be used as full back up, as we rely on some features that cannot be fully encoded and recovered from REFI-QDA. This concerns especially user management in the server mode. For local, single-user mode, back up is as simple as a making a copy of the project database file.
