As an administrator, a way to perfectly save and restore the content of file systems is a requirement. Crashes do happen, so do migration to new disk subsystems, system cloning, etc, etc. If restoration can be done with the standard tools you find on any live rescue CD, it's even better. All what's probably needed is some readable-writable non-confusing (fully POSIX compliant) "view" that's guaranteed to contain all existing "raw" data and metadata). BR, Pierre.
