I deleted the .conf file and went thru the wizard, just using defaults.
But no users were selected at the end.

I do have a home partition which is lager than the space set aside for
the backup. Would that be a problem? (during the wizard, I mean... later
it certainly will).

I agree that defaults should not do a cron setting, at least for now.
But maybe the possibility to set up automatic backup should be
highlighted during the wizard. Somthing like:

Drakbackup can set up the backup to be done automatically with 
some regular intervals, for example hourly.
Do you want to use this feature?
