+BACKUP REPOSITORY LAYOUT
+========================
+
+Cumulus backups are stored using a relatively simple layout. Data files
+described below are written into one of several directories on the
+backup server, depending on their purpose:
+ snapshots/
+ Snapshot descriptor files, which quickly summarize each backup
+ snapshot stored.
+ segments0/
+ segments1/
+ Storage of the bulk of the backup data, in compressed/encrypted
+ form. Technically any segment could be stored in either
+ directory (both directories will be searched when looking for a
+ segment). However, data in segments0 might be faster to access
+ (but more expensive) depending on the storage backend. The
+ intent is that segments0 can store filesystem tree metadata and
+ segments1 can store file contents.
+ meta/
+ Snapshot-specific metadata that is not core to the backup. This
+ can include checksums of segments, some data for rebuilding
+ local database contents, etc.
