Backup and restore pipes, sockets, device nodes
On Unix, Conserve could backup pipes, sockets, and block/char devices. At present they are all silently skipped.
I'm not sure of the utility of this, as I'd think most programs that want them will recreate sockets and pipes if they're missing, and on many modern unices devices will be dynamically created. But it could be done.
