No your not crazy.. :)

I have done this and it works. Periodically I shut down mis and create a
.tar.xz archive of my mystic directory and if need be (and it has happened) I
can just extract that archive in it's original condition and carry on again.

I did that once when I needed to reinstall linux and it worked like a charm.
