Hey ! Cool work ! I'd suggest making a port of it first and add it to -current's source tree later, after many different people had a chance to try it and to add functionality that might be missing at the moment. As you say currently restore doesn't restore all informations ... I'm not sure, if that couldn't break a Win95 or NT system on C: if you really perform a full backup and restore cycle ... Did you ever proof that ? Complete backup and reestore ? That would be interesting to hear ... If it works so far I'd vote to bring it in into -current.
