They switched to pile-of-files as the default.  They still have the
option to create Berkeley DB repositories.  From their INSTALL file,
they use SQLite only internally which is probably a good thing because
they've given Berkeley DB quite a black eye; whether it's deserved or
not, I do not know.

Well, your drive goes out, and you don't have a remote clone so you
reach for your DVD backup which verified ok, but now when you restore,
cpio warns about a checksum not matching.
