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.
