There is the normal and permanent folders. create 2 more called backup_normal and backup_permanent. Would be nice for the times when it hits the fan.

creating a server side backup of the entire cache dir, both html and gz, on demand, or on a set schedule would be great.
especially if there was the ability to restore from the backup on demand as well.

It would be an on demand backup; so as files are saved it is saved in the backup dir as well. Copying the content of the backup dir is one way of doing it, but that won't be fast. If you opt to rename the folder then you no longer have a backup, but it would be live in less then a second. Offering both ways is the correct way to do this; let the admin decide the right action to take.
