indeed. Sometimes I don't know if the backup setup is right, or if the
backup as been correctly done. Of course there's the mail, but I send
the mail to someone else and I don't check if the mails are right and if
the backup is done. And I don't knwo if I can put a CC, or a second user
in the To field.
In order not to clutter to much the UI, you can make the following
entries :
|-> Manual // specify files/dir+dest & backup
Quick Backup -> |
|-> Auto // make backup from config
Restore
|-> View Backup configuration // view backup conf
Manage Backup ->|-> View backup log // view backup log
|-> Configure Backup // configure backup

That's true concerning the units as we don't know the unit. On top of
that there's a bug in backup size. I used to backup on a 20/40 GB tape.
The pb is that I can't specify the right size and it default to old
size. So I just hope that it will be able to backup up everything.
Concerning /var space consuming, what about make one tar.gz and copy it,
delete it, and so on ? Or give the ability to specify a different
directory ?

You should wait for 10 release as it won't be easy to implement and used
by the user
