Backup-functionality for backing up the Plex data base

What is urgently needed according to my opinion is a functionally for backing up the data base of Plex server in a defined way, ideally by creating a backup file in the form of a zip file or some other archive file, of course with a corresponding functionality for restoring Plex server with its data base on the same or a new computer on basis of this backup file. Backing up the Plex data base directory it tedious and very time consuming due to the great number of individual small files. Please note that the meta data of the date base may be based on a lot of work, so that a professional and convenient way of backing up is highly appropriate and indeed urgently needed.
