Does this make sense? Or old superblocks should never replace newer ones? I mean, let's say each day the first few MB of each component device is stored somewhere. As soon as some irreparable damage happens, the files can be restored in the proper devices. Practically rolling back to the previous day the superblock status. Would this work?
