I would say there's nothing worth saving under /slaves, except maybe for
/slaves/$slavename/info/, and the only important thing under
/masters/schooltool is master.cfg.

Well, you may also want to preserve buildbot.tac, I think, if you want
to simplify backup recovery, but that one can be easily recreated.

I cannot find anything about backups on http://bazaar-vcs.org/

<Corsac> yeah, i'm reading the answers, currently
<Corsac> but what I see is that there is no real procedure to rebuild initfs
<Corsac> the common way seems to use a loop device with a jffs2 filesystem, put
         original files there, and add other files, then umount, flash and pray
   <dwd> Corsac: You forgot "ritual sacrifice of a medium sized rodent".
         Without that, it'll never work.
   <zuh> And if it doesn't work the first time, re-adjust towel ordering in the
         restroom and try again
