Maybe even easier, as update_local_state() and write_local_state()
are already split (update only changes in-memory data), could just
have command_backup call inner_backup and then write_local_state
(if --record was requested). Application author still only has to
write inner_backup and it still calls update_local_state, but
no longer calls write_local_state.
