From: Artem Blagodarenko <artem.blagodarenko@xxxxxxxxxxx>
e2image has no ability to use superblock backup to copy metadata.
This feature can be useful if someone wants to make partition
image and fix it using e2fsck utility.
New -b option allows to pass superblock number, like e2fsck utility do.
e2image doesn't change primary superblock and store is as is, so
it can be fixed using e2fsck latter.
