The edgy version looks very good. Just a few (very) minor points, most
of which are feature requests:

 * Is System -> Administration the best place to install the launchers? There 
might be other ways of launching the application which are more intuitive, such 
as putting a 'Backup folder...' in the nautilus File menu. The launchers also 
lack an icon.
 * Consider renaming the 'Backup' button to 'Backup Files'.
 * The checkbox to exclude 'temporary files, music and videos' might cause 
problems for users. For example, what if a user wants to backup music, but not 
temporary files? Having an 'Exclude file types...' button which launches a 
dialog allowing the user to choose what types of file to exclude could be 
better here. The dialog would only need a few checkboxes.
 * There is no initial estimate as to how many DVDs/how much space will be 
required by the backup. This is an important parameter for the user to be aware 
of, since it costs money in CDs/DVDs, or they might run out of space.
 * There is no way of choosing multiple folders to backup, which some users may 
find frustrating
 * On trying to backup without a disc in the drive, the message 'Please insert 
a blank CD/DVD in drive and confirm to continue' is displayed. It might be 
better to have a warning dialog with 'Please insert a blank CD/DVD to start the 
backup' and a 'Continue' and 'Cancel' button.

Thanks again,

Phil
