[GeoNode-users] GeoNode Backup and Restore: first draft

Alesio, thanks for this work, looks very exciting.

Very excited to see the GeoServer plugin side afterwards.

One question, what's the strategy for migrating between different versions
of GeoNode? In particular between GeoNode forks and between future (and db
incompatible) GeoNode versions.

One of the main uses for these scripts would be to help users backup their
GeoNode before attempting an upgrade, either between major releases or
between heavily modified dev versions.
