Issue: 
Moving a database to a home/username/ folder fails due to permissions.
This is because databases are not sites, so we do not know their usernames to use with moving the file. 

If the database has a site_id associated, when moving the backup, we could get that username and try with it.

Alternate solutions:


A- check the destination folder first, check which user is the owner and ssh using that user...?


B- another field to the backup settings: username of the folder. So if you are moving the backup somewhere in the server, you need to provide the username.
