Is it possible to create a full image backup before upgrading?

[dismantl]

Users have expressed a desire to get a full image backup of a router before flashing an upgrade, so they have something with known working settings to go back to if the upgrade fails or breaks connectivity.

Probably not possible? But interesting.

One way to get at this is that OpenWRT Barrier Breaker has check and rollback support for the filesystem, which we may be able to take advantage of.
