Hey Timo,

Splitting this off into a separate thread...

On the question of the existing SIS capability for attachments... have 
you given any thought as to how to solve the problem of restoring from 
backups when SIS is used? I was planning on using it initially, until I 
read on list that restoring from (normal disk-to-disk) backups would not 
work when SIS was enabled - this is obviously a deal breaker for anyone 
who relies on backups - which I would think would be almost everyone?

Or maybe I misunderstood the problem?
