Why would you *want* that? Seriously? When backups of files, rather
than filesystems, are much more easily mirrored onto a read-only,
accessible target to allow people to recover their deleted files
quickly and cheaply?

Even if you need to back up to tape, AMANDA and half a dozen other
technologies do a much better job with "tar" or "rsync" based backups.
