Hmmm - perhaps "Secondary" would be more accurate wording than "Alternate" (v2 coming...)
Is there any "official" name for this in the GPT spec?
I proposed "Secondary" because it matched "doc/README.gpt"; and it is often called "secondary GPT" (for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table) However, the UEFI Specifaction (Version 2.3.1, Errata A) calls it "backup GPT" 18 times, and "alternate GPT" once (and never calls it "secondary GPT")....
I would go with backup GPT and update the README.gpt too please.
