Cannot backup database outside the web server tree

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 199

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Set a database file name or database folder outside the web server tree.
2.Try to download the backup of the database.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Database should be downloaded, but the server shows a file not found error.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using 1.9.4.

Which
Database Extension (PDO/SQLiteDatabase/SQLiteDatabase3 - see Database
structure-tab in phpLiteAdmin)?
I'm using PDO.

Please provide any additional information below.
PLA delivers a direct link to the file but is not possible if this file is outside
the web server tree, so it should deliver the file using get_file_contents() and even
compress it.
Will be nice if optionally compress all files that generates PLA like CSV or SQL as
a option. Big exports will benefice about this.
