Well,

The way it works NOW: you get error message and then you have to click
OK, plug in the missing media, reconfigure backup, run backup

only tech savvy people will put up with that.

The way it SHOULD run is: you get message informing that the media is
missing and asking you to plug it in and to click "OK" button and the
backup continues, or click "Cancel" which takes you to selection of
another media, and maybe another button - "remind in x minutes".

Many people have external hard drives which are not plugged in all the
time and getting an error (or not getting an error and not doing a
backup)

People want GUI backup because they want the ease of use, and the
current workaround IMHO is not much user-friendlier than using CLI.

-- 
problem occurs if nssbackup is run with the destination drive not present. It 
looses the config info.
