I can confirm that GET and POST work as a backup and restore method.

It'd be trivial to write a small Perl script that uses GET to download
a Sipper's configuration, or uses POST to update a Sipura.  The script
could read/write the configuration data using whatever store is deemed
necessary (XML file(s), SQL database etc.).

Of course, it'd be less trivial to create a MS Windows application,
but there's probably no need for that anyway. :-)
