I did figure out how to keep the safe part of exclusive backup (not

Do you think it's still worth trying to make it safe, or do you think
we should just remove exclusive mode completely?
My preference would be to remove it completely, but I haven't gotten a
lot of traction so far.
Attaching the thread [1] that I started with a patch to remove exclusive
backup for reference.
Ah, good, some light reading. :)
Sure, if you say so!
