3. The backup policy.
Garimella's patch backups every time before grub-setup overwrote the
boot sectors. There might be a problem when someone run
grub-setup/grub-install twice. So the backup image ends up with the
grub2 boot sectors. This makes the recovery for the "real" boot sectors
impossible. My patch won't overwrite if a previous backup image already
existed. grub-install will remove the backup image after a successful
recovery.
maybe the boot sector is small enough that we could just keep separate
additional backup files each time grub-setup/grub-install is used? e.g.
backup-1
backup-2
backup-3
or maybe using date/time instead of sequential numbering would be nicer.
