This is interesting and new to me. But I don't quite understand how to do this. So for example, if I create cool desktop theme and some other customizations and back it up (create a backup.tar.gz) then I go into Emelfm and change the name of that backup.tar.gz to mysetup.tar.gz , then DSL will automatically load mysetup.tar.gz as well as subsequent backup.tar.gz files?? or does it load mysetup.tar.gz and ignore any subsequent backup.tar.gz?

if you rename the file, then it's not technically a backup anymore. It has become a myDSL extension. It will load as any other extension, and be overwritten if you have the same files in a backup.tar.gz file.

wow... that's interesting! One more thing to experiment with, and in my case... one more thing to break.

Sorry guys

I was experimenting with backup/restore and put hda1 in the GUI. When I reboot/shutdown it takes for ever

How do you disable the backup/restore?

Many thanks
