While I haven't tested it, it should work, as long as you realize...
You'd have to back up the entire RaQ to be able to do a complete
restore. If you do incremental backupss you'd still have to have an
entire RaQ backup for the specific RaQ to be able to restore it.
This might be worth testing <smile>. Thanks for the tip.
