A Q or better an idea related to the backup function. Which I think is a
nice feature.

By reading  the code I figured that 

1. only the effective image size gets backed up - GREAT -  and 
2. the whole thing gets gzipped
3. I also saw that the space gets checked on the target

Now. By definition the backup supposedly works towards attached USB
disks only. Hmmh.

However. With 2/4/8 GB RAM at hand, a backup of rather small partitions

could easily be done and stored on /tmp tmpfs without a USB-disk
attached.

>From /tmp the image could then easily be transferred via scp to whatever
destination.

Doing it this way has an IMO huge advantage since you could run all the
backups in the house without 
carrying your USB-HDDs from A2B around.

I think this small change could easily be accomplished in the code. And
would make the backup function even more useful.
