Fuel-SIP is for backing up all your application's image-based data to disk, quickly and painlessly.
This helps ensure that you will keep it backed-up to disk, as frequently as you like, while keeping your app running as fast as possible - no pause while it saves.
You can program it to occur during the operation of the app, so you no longer need to remember to do manual saves.
All of the upside of constantly doing World Menu | Save As
None of the downsides -
not having to remember to perform a save
not having to interrupt your train of thought in the task at hand to save
not having the image unusable for the length of time it takes to save the whole entire image
(on my system, with barely anything in the image, it varies from
a tiny fraction of a second using a local disc,
up to a dozen seconds using NAS.)

Who created Fuel-SIP?
Simple Image-based Persistence
was conceived and created by Ramon Leon, in Squeak
The Fuel serializer
was created by Mariano Peck, in Pharo
Simple Image-based Persistence 2.0 now with Fuel!
was coded, refactored and packaged by Sean P. DeNigris
and originally tested by him in Pharo 1.4 and 2.0. (n.b. It no longer works in Pharo 1.4)
Background and History:
For the full motivation and description, see Ramon Leon's blog post at http://onsmalltalk.com/simple-image-based-persistence-in-squeak/.
Mariano Peck improved File Serialising for Pharo, and called it Fuel. It was later ported to Squeak
Sean "pretty much just packaged up the code from Ramon's blog, made some small refactorings, and confirmed it was MIT."
