As we stated already, snapshots are not part of the feature, snapshots has
been merged into the master long time ago
and as far as I understood - without requiring them to be 100% robust and
fault tolerant and they are widely used in many production systems
nevertheless. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14415 relies on
Snapshots v2 but we can reconsider it, there are some thoughts how to make
backups snapshotless.

Backups are fault tolerant to some extent - in case of failure (and
failures can happen) we clean everything up and do not leave system table
in inconsistent state. Would it be enough, Sean Busbey?
