Yup. In order to do that you'd have to make a virtual UBIFS filesystem, load the files into it, image that with tar, and then restore that. All in all, painful and probably not worth it.

I did it this way because some people get errors with the img files - due to flash media errors. I may end up providing that functionality -also-, but only if this method ends up not being foolproof.
I probably -will- have to release a single flashable image that lets you get to BackupMenu, for if you completely screw things up.
