As Kerin showed, restore is not intrinsically simpler, as it has to deal with
the same amount of data. It is only laid down in a different format. The
shell format is more verbose, but has some advantages:
* it allows to test each single command separately, and
* its format is time-honored and fully documented.
do what you want but stop talking nonsense when it comes to best practice
One "best practice" that I'd object to is blindly restoring whatever was saved
on shutdown. How can one control that? Booting with some clean, well-defined
data looks safer.
