[[!tag obnam-wishlist]]

Obnam could do with a mode in which it backs up the data from a block
device, instead of the device node. If the block device contains a
filesystem, it should backup only the parts of the device that are
used by the filesystem, and skip unused parts. That could be used for
backing up disk images as well.
