GPT has a backup copy stored in the last block of the disk.
You are absolutely correct. My poor little systems aren't big enough to use GPT volumes (mostly smaller KVM instances), so I didn't think about that. :-D
Although I'm relatively certain I've nuked GPT volumes on my hypervisors when I've rebuilt them, and they were not visible as volumes when I reinstalled the OS. I'll dig into that, now you have me curious.
