Maybe this is obvious, but just an FYI that whereas the old CfBackup format was simply a long text file consisting of both variable names and the text portion of various config files, the new format is simply gzipped tar that can be read using "tar xvzf CfBackupXXXXXX"
This format is a true improvement and obviously allows for *easier* editing and *hacking* of the interface s ince you can now presumably edit these files directly simply by untarring & retarring the file. (Note I did this with only drive 'a' in place so it may be missing stuff from the 'b' drive)

IN PARTICULAR, the backupc/rc.init.sh should allow for new fun-plugging type activity since presumably it will execute anything in it upon startup. In particular, this would allow you to run alternative fun_plug type scripts right from rc.init.sh

Interestingly, the file backup/sib.conf contains various parameter settings including wireless parameters which are not supported by the hardware but who knows may be in some future version.

Also, one can of course use this to manipulate the password/group files if one doesn't want to mess with writing to flash directly. Similarly for accessing the samba conf.
Of course, I do not know how much if any error checking is done so one could presumably also brick or almost-brick ones machine if you are not careful.
BE CAREFUL TO RETAR USING THE FIRMWARE BUSYBOX TAR BECAUSE AS POINTED OUT IN http://dns323.kood.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=6262, THE FIRMWARE TAR SEEMS TO ONLY BE ABLE TO READ ITS OWN FORMAT

Here is what tar tvzf shows:
