None of this really solves the problem of what happens when the user dumps the backup_label into the data directory. With traditional backup software that's pretty much going to be the only choice. Is telling them not to do it and washing our hands of it really enough?
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.
