mainly things like symlinks/hardlinks in weird places, wrong looking dir 
layouts, containing file systems that don't belong (/dev , /proc, ..), stuff 
like that..

with vzdump backups, we have the reasonable assumption that backup archives are
- well-formed (created by our code)
- put there by an admin with raw storage access (can already do pretty much 
everything)

with external backups, we don't know who can put what onto the backup storage, 
there's a lot more that can theoretically be snuck in (also by less-privileged 
users that have access to the backup storage), so it probably warrants extra 
caution..
