All we need is a new control panel item in Sugar and add 3 scripts to
ds-backup-client. I'm attaching patches to do both things.

You can test this functionality in os180py.


The current implementation works, but is way too crude for upstreaming
it. My TODO list contains:

1) Discuss UI refinements proposed by Eben (see his post to sugar-devel)

2) Integrate the USB backup/restore functionality developed by Esteban
   for LATU.

3) Address the concerns of Martin Langhoff regarding destroying the
current journal contents on restore.

Documentation for creating bundles is here:

But I feel that backup/restore should be core Sugar functionality, not
implemented as an activity.
