 In `file.php` line 2146 we have `update_post_meta( $request_id,
 '_export_file_path', $archive_pathname );` to update the filepath of the
 exported zip file.

 In windows the file path uses `\` instead of `/` and they get stripped out
 when the `update_post_meta` happens.

 This results in an error when downloading / mailing the file so it always
 generates a new .zip file.

 I've made a check by doing an `$archive_pathname = str_replace( '\\', '/',
 $archive_pathname );` just before the update_post_meta and it works but
 not sure if that's the way to go.

 ( not sure if it's my installation only either but I've never seen it
 happen again and I was always working on Windows maybe it's an
 update_post_meta thing? )
