Hi!

Wouldn't it be nice, if DSL had a menu where you can choose what to backup/restore? It would certainly help those people, who doesnt know what configureation is saved in which file.

Well...that would be a huge task. There's no way to know what configs a user will want to back up, so you'd have to include every configurable application.

I'm not saying it's not a good idea...in fact i think it's a very good idea...something that will give me more practice in flua =o)

Don't expect anything too useful out of me any time soon, but I've just added this to my to-do list.
