The protocol *does* let you get the database,

OK, now that I think about it I guess it would have to, but how about arbitrary files? Say I want to backup my custom /sbin/init? Or somehow grab my equalizer settings (which are not available as a regular file IIRC)? These are the kind of things people seem to want when they ask for a full backup and which I assume are not possible short of dd'ing the drives.
