last i checked (messed up) the db was plain text and if you ... it..... :)

let me rephrase that to be more proper / technical - no transaction,
no roll back, no *log, no integrity check (afaik)

want to vastly improve things i know tons of people that would *love*
this functionality - and they all know / use lvm / vm / other
snapshots and restores)
