If it's an option w/ a default of "off", then chances are the admin will
get the failure you're talking about, realize there's an issue, but then
have a way to actually *fix* the restore without having to hack up
multi-gigabyte files using vi. If you'd like, you're welcome to
consider the default of "off" as a feature.
+1 from me for adding the option.
Thanks,
Stephen
