i'm not sure i'd want to go to a dir tree for this; if
one just wants to handle level 0 backups then my understanding
is that the restoresymtable could be skipped completely.

there's no code for such a skip at this time, but i suspect that
that would be a cheap remedy - at least for full backups.

right now i don't see why the symtable cannot be dumped incrementally
instead of being held in memory.
