RouterOS binary backups are very useful to quickly and effortlessly restore device's configuration. Whenever there is a change in device's configuration (detected from differences in export files) a binary backup should be made as well. These files are binary (i.e. not useful for comparing configuration changes), so perhaps only the last one should be kept for the case where urgent restore needs to be done.

Make binary backups (see #4)
b4e1f86 
Add making and retrieval of binary backups for quick and effortless
restore of device's configuration. The backup is kept only if there is
difference with last configuration export.

A new method make_backup is added to SecureTransport class. The method
executes '/system backup save' command. The method get_export of the
same class is renamed to get_file and its first argument now specifies
remote file to download, so it could be used in general.

Implemented, but should also consider the case where no backup exists at all. In this case the backup should be saved even if there is no differences in the export.
