Hi Mikko, Since the work is not over, the design has changed slightly. I will update the wiki as soon as the code is over. Basically, you will be able (and are now actually) to backup any repository.

I somehow got the impression it only supports Xml or Object PM from here: http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/BackupTool, but now reading more carefully it means the *tool* uses one of these for the backup or what? -Mikko- P.S.
