Hi Andrew, sorry for not answering earlier but as u said we're all too
busy right now. It's the end of the year and we have to finish many
projects.
We have "backup system for persistence" on our roadmap for 2016 [1][2]
and I'll be the one to work on the broad picture, UX design, etc. So I'm
definitely interested in your work but I wanted to test it before
answering (but couldn't find the time to do so), tough I won't be able
review your Perl code.

Right. At the moment I'm playing with Deja-Dup [3] for the backups of my
Tails. I really like the integration in the desktop but, as it's running
as the amnesia user, it can't create a perfect clone of the persistent
volume. So your approach is also something we've considered, see #8812 [4].
