Ah, I was just writing a reply like this:
Can I add a "personal opinion": I've been using a script to save/restore
for a large number of cycles - it relies on overwriting the existing
save-file. Would it be possibel to add a "-f|--force" to allow
overwriting of the save/dump-file?

I have no objection to the patch as such, but it would be nice not to be
able to save over the existing file if the user wants to.
