+  Comments from Martin Simmons (I think they are all covered):
+  Ok, that should cover the basics.  There are few issues though:
+
+  - Restore will depend on the catalog.  I think it is better to include the
+  extra data in the backup as well, so it can be seen by bscan and bextract.
+
+  - I'm not sure if it will preserve multiple hard links to the same inode.  Or
+  maybe adding or removing links will cause the data to be dumped again?
+
+  - I'm not sure if it will handle renamed directories.  Possibly it will work
+  by dumping the whole tree under a renamed directory?
+
+  - It remains to be seen how the backup performance of the DIR's will be
+  affected when comparing the catalog for a large filesystem.
