this all sounds really interesting, but IMHO these are all extras (that can
introduce a lot of extra complications)
if i can tell the SM where the session needs to be stored that's enough for
me. i really dont care how the underlying files/dirs are organised
all i care about is that i can save/restore a session.
and if this comes at the price of HD space, so be it

if i know where the sessions are stored it's easy enough to archive the
complete dir and move it to a fileserver
