What if the graph store already has both Skolem IRI nodes (acquired from
Web crawling) and blank nodes? How can you make the backup/restore
faithful?

Why is that only within a store? Alice has some data, does some
inference, tracks that in some provenance, gives the resulting dataset
to Bob for display/additional-processing/analysis. Alice gives the
data to Bob as a TriG file.
