It directly covers recovery from catastrophic failure or
corruption of the SD card.  It could be argued that is the most
important backup recovery use case.

For selective recovery of files that were accidentally deleted or
overwritten, the backup SD card could be mounted via an SD-to-USB
adapter (or on a second Linux machine) and the file copied over.

For either use case, one could use several backup cards and
rotate them to facilitate several generations of recovery.  Rob,
what else would you consider essential ingredients of a proper
backup strategy?
