[Insight] Database snapshots

Smooge et al.,

If we wanted database snapshots to be deposited somewhere, so we could
pick them out and import them on the upcoming insight.dev host, how
should we go about that?  Should we have it simply email the dump to
members of, say, cmsadmin-members at fp.o?  Or is there somewhere we
could have an unattended job write that DB?

Note that we'll exempt the 'users' table in the DB from being dumped.
That will prevent the only password in the DB -- the one belonging to
Drupal uid=1 (the app admin) -- from being sent or stored anywhere
else.  We'd also leave out 'users_roles' since it wouldn't match on a
different box anyway.
