They are here, and end up in my config.
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 had a small problem with the advanced settings, the repeated cron > > thing.

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? best regards keld
