OK -- added "prepare and write Backup GPT" in v3

OK - I changed the name, however, it still can only handle a buffer 
which contains:
- 512 bytes of MBR, followed by
- 512 bytes of GPT Header, followed by
the GPT Entries at the specified offset (typically 2 * 512 bytes)
Thus, it cannot be used for the Backup GPT anyway....
