I also liked the idea. I didn't like the use of -k option (save a list of installed packages). I would either create a new option for it, enable it when -c or -o is in use, or simply enable it by default. I also think that ${SERVICE_STATUS} could be executed by default after the reboot. If the user asked to preserve service status, it could be implicitly assumed that the user wants to restore it after the backup is applied. The problem is that you cannot write directly to /etc/uci-defaults without touching the flash on each backup. The /etc/backup is a good solution but you need to change when it is mounted, and not only when '-k' is selected. I would create a new /etc/uci-defaults/01-post-restore.sh provided by base-files (and not created by a backup) that would read a possible /etc/backup/post-restore.sh script. There you could place your enable/disable calls.
