Indeed.
Here's the current state of our thoughts and research on this topic:

Thanks!
If I understood correctly, the data is copied to another, pre-existing
(and already unlocked & mounted) Tails Persistent Storage, i.e.
the scripts add a GUI on top of our current command line instructions:
https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/persistence/backup/
The good news is that this is entirely compatible with the design we
want to implement eventually (possibly next year).
To me this would be a good incremental improvement over our current
instructions.
@sajolida, what do you think?
I did not check how close the scripts are to somewhat we
could integrate.
Cheers!
