Use URL for backup/restore

[jconnor]

It would be kind of cool to be able to do a backup/restore to a URL instead of a mounted drive.  :-)  Just a thought, maybe a stupid idea.

You still need to load extensions.
They are normally loaded from a mounted drive, but can be loaded into RAM using tftplist or httplist.
You could create a custom extension from the backup and install that.
You would need to package it up into an extension after running "filetool.sh -b" and than upload it to your server.

Another option would be to create an extension whose install script downloads and extracts the backup.

ok, thanks.
