Attached is the updated version of the patch. I refactored the code, fixed
some bugs, added lots of source code comments, improved the document,
but didn't change the basic design. Please check this patch, and let's use
this patch as the base if you agree with that.

In the current patch, there is no safeguard for preventing users from
taking backup during recovery when FPW is disabled. This is unsafe.
Are you planning to implement such a safeguard?
