[p4] Backup scripts?

[Stephen Vance]

Snapshots may give you transactional integrity with respect to file 
system writes, but they don't guarantee transactional integrity with 
respect to application transaction boundaries. Plus, for small shops 
this is frequently more sysadmin overhead than they want to muster and, 
in the case of NetApp and the like, more expense.
