Ideally "Deploy the files" should support any mixture of installing RPMs and whatever kind of software packages plus untar backup.tar.gz images so that it would be possible to have only user data in backup.tar.gz but use RPMs for the basic system software and whatever kind of software packages for other software like third-party software.
We did not think about this possibility, but it is an interesting idea to mix both approaches...
Initially the new installer may only support one type of data for deployment, i.e. deployment either by installing RPM packages or by installing an image or by untar of a tar.gz archive.
For my particular use case "system recovery" it would be basically sufficient to untar a single tar.gz archive (which means the user must backup all in one single archive).
Right now, "system recovery" is, IMO, not a use case for the installer. That's task for another project but that one might not make it into SLE 12, maybe openSUSE 13.2. This use cause maybe covers it a bit: https://github.com/yast/yast-installation/wiki/New-Installer%3A-Use-Cases#re... - it's similar to AutoYast.
