If you fork pax then I think this would mean DSS would be invoking access methods to perform the backup. DSS has used lower level processes to perform backups up to now.
I mention this because it has a big impact on the way that data is processed when the data is encrypted. Currently DSS backs up encrypted data without invoking the access methods, thus never needing access to encryption keys. By working at block level, data sets can be moved, backed up, migrated, recalled without ever accessing the true data.

The best way to do this may be to fork pax itself and keep the dump in pax format.
