Well, I don't think that having such a naming scheme actually is much
help in such a case, but I think I gave some overview on how you coiuld
achieve this.

IMO, having "from time to time" and "somewhere else" clearly defined
before starting your setup helps a lot ;-)

Personally, I'd rely on storing the bootstrap files safely and managing
the volumes automatically...
Anyway, what you want _can_ be done, but you need multiple storage
devices and you can't use automatic volume recycling. It's more work
than strictly necessary to set up, I think.
