Comment (by daira):

 I'd much rather enhance {{{tahoe backup}}} to record more metadata (and to
 tolerate errors better), and add a {{{tahoe restore}}} (or {{{tahoe cp
 --restore}}}) command to restore that metadata. I think that {{{tahoe
 backup}}} is a good idea for backups because:
  * it makes effective use of immutable files and directories;
  * I like the transparency of a backup being a snapshot rather than some
 opaque thing in some weird format I don't understand, as it is for most
 backup programs.
