This would likely fail for a number of reasons:
- Disk image would always need to be mounted. Nigh impossible to guarantee.
- Backups can run when no users are at the console, exacerbating the previous problem.
- If backupd checks to make sure it never crosses device boundaries in its backups, this will always fail.
Or even if it works, I wouldn't tout it as a long-term solution…
