I'd like to discuss backups for a moment. More importantly I'd like to discuss
sloup and backups. I'm curious...

1) What newtonscript command would have to be issued into sloup to:
a) Dump data and packages for creating a backup image
b) Restore data from that dump *back* into it's perspective store.

2) That said, are their any particular platform-specific libraries that need to
be available on the desktop itself to facilitate this?

3) If 1 a & b are possible what is the nature of the data that comes down the
serial connection?

Thanks for your insights.
