For the Reiser4 case, this could also be solved using views, right?
Just create a view that exposes everything that should be backed up,
and nothing else? What "instructions" would a backup program need,
other than knowing what files to backup, and what files to not backup?

Where are views going to be handled? It seems like something that would
be useful for every other filesystem, and so shouldn't be handled too
close to Reiser4. (Or is that a debate/discussion/flamewar we don't
want to get into right now? ;-) )
