Maybe you can update the manpage a bit? It's not really clear how this 
operates. What about "backup" resides on the snapshotted filesystem and is 
a file? What if it is a directory? 

What if the "backup" doesn't reside on the snapshotted filesystem, but is 
a directory?

Also, using of the snapshots may be shown too, in the EXAMPLES section - I 
can only guess that one can use dump(8) to back things up? Or is the 
preferred method to mount the fss and use tar?
