Your Proposal
I have a serious issue after using backup with only_backup_claimed_chunks flag enabled - I can't restore chunks only, I can restore regions only. All unclaimed chunks in region that contains at least one claimed chunk, will be regenerated. Restoration of backup from game menu have the same result as you will remove the whole world and then restored it from this 9MB archive backup...
There are two ways of how to solve it:
- Add only_backup_claimed_REGIONS function - it will write whole regions where at least one claimed chunk exist, instead of just chunks
- Add a way to restore saved chunks only (it will rewrite chunks of existing world)
Your Goal
Better backups
Your Vision
The whole idea of saving only claimed chunks isn't implemented in a proper way as there is no way to restore them easily. Maybe it's possible with some external software, but... what a reason of it, then?

This issue contains a different proposal to add possibility to "restore only some selected chunks", which is different and more complicated than my proposal. The main difference is that you need a whole new interface instead of just "Restore only saved chunks" checkbox and some processing code.
