Do you really think this is necessary?
Your backed up database is already one file (which includes all templates,styles, messages, users etc). Then all you need to do is to FTP to your server and download all PHP files to your local machine. If you want them to be a 1 file too, zip them
In fact what you want is not possible. Say your account has been hacked and all your files (and db) deleted completely. Which button of which file you plan to push to miracally get it back? There is no files left in your server, remember?
You have to upload at least 1 file to work such a system work and instread of uploading 1 file, you can just upload your back up directory, and restore MYSQL which is 2 clicks.. Besides there are a lot of different types of servers around (unix, linux, nt) and it would be an ardouous job to program such an feature.. There are a lot of different hosts with different features and permissions too. For example my host doesnt let me restore my MYSQL database, I have to sent the file to them so that they will do it for me..
I think this hack would neither practical nor necessary. Just my 2 cents (which you asked insistently) hehehe..
