Code:

&lt;html &gt;

    &lt;meta name="author" content="" /&gt;

    &lt;title&gt;Backup&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

&lt;?php class Backup extends Controller {

    function __construct() {

        parent::Controller();

    }

    function index() {

        //DB backup:

        $this->load->dbutil();

        $backup = &$this->dbutil->backup();

        $this->load->helper('file');

        $date = strftime("%d-%b-%y at %Hh%M ");

        $db_backup_file = $date . 'db.gz';

        write_file('d:/htdocs/backup/proj/' . $db_backup_file, $backup);

        //<-DB backup

        $path = '../proj/';

        $this->zip->read_dir($path);

        $date = strftime("%d-%b-%y at %Hh%M ");

        $proj_backup_file = $date . 'proj.zip';

        $this->zip->archive('d:/htdocs/backup/proj/' . $proj_backup_file); // Creates a file named myarchive.zip

        $data = 'Done. Redirecting in 2 sec<br> 

        <strong>' . $db_backup_file . '</strong> - '.round((filesize('d:/htdocs/backup/proj/' . $db_backup_file)/1024),1).' KB <br>

        <strong>' . $proj_backup_file . '</strong> - '.round((filesize('d:/htdocs/backup/proj/'.$proj_backup_file)/1024),1).' KB <br>';

        $this->out->set_out($data);//display status info

        //<-proj backup

    }

} ?&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

Customize paths mentioned in the code and put Backup.php into controllers directory of your app.

You can then make a link to activate the controller, something like: <a href="http://localhost/proj/backup">Backup</a> and make backup of your current code with a sigle click!

thanks for that, is there way to exclude certain directories?

@haruzzi: yes, you should rewrite (or extend) system/libraries/Zip.php and exclude certain directories

take a look at function named read_dir and modify it, I would look at this part:
if (@is_dir($path.$file)){ $this->read_dir($path.$file."/", $preserve_filepath, $root_path); }
