Any time you find yourself using phrases like "obviate the need for
backup" you should take a step back and rethink the situation.
The only thing that truly makes backups superfluous is exclusively
disposable data.

Pete beat me to this. There may be other valid reasons to have something
like this, but "completely obviate the need to do a backup" is...
terrible. What if the "way to downgrade" has a bug that wipes out
your data? Come on!
