I'm not sure what you mean by a previously set memory region.  Something 
like:

(gdb) image save myfile "region 1"

technically ``"region 1"'' is an expression that returns the address of 
the string ``region 1'' freshly malloc()d in target memmory.

I'm wondering what the semantics of ``restore'' are and how they differ 
from load in some cases.  Perhaphs ``(gdb) load <file> <offset>'' is 
syntatic sugar for one of the ``(gdb) image ...'' commands.

enjoy,
Andrew
