After some thought I believe there are several recommendations we could
give in the docs about what to do with the backup_label file.
This patch, though, looks to be a dead end. I think the best thing to do
is withdraw the patch and end the thread.
I'll start a new thread when I have a patch/design that implements the
new ideas we have discussed.
