    What would be great is an easy way of backing up (and restoring) just a table... maybe in Denali?

    No, and I doubt it will ever be a native feature. It allows the database to be in a transactionally inconsistent state. Lots of the 3rd party backup tools can do that, and others allow the backups to be 'mounted' as if they were actual databases (RedGate's Hyperbac for eg)
