John,
I agree - so seeing that Skip goes forward to Exit without a Backup, and Cancel goes backwards to not exit at all, they should be separate buttons. Otherwise one loses the Skip function, which is essential in this context.
I actually think it is fine as it is, except that the Close Window button in the Skip Backup dialogue should act like a Cancel button would. The other optional dialogue box traps the inadvertent exit.
Cheers, Rob

Rob replied on this thread as:
Replacing Skip by Cancel wouldn't make sense, in my opinion, as Cancel and
Skip have distinct meanings, as outlined above.
The Cancel Button has a very specific meaning across all windows applications, and maybe even Mac. It means to exit this dialog box without doing anything. That usually means go back to where I came from without doing anything. The reason why a cancel button is put in a dialog box is so a user can go into one, change his/her mind about whatever she/he thought he/she wanted to do and just get out of the dialog box without doing anything.
