Package: sbackup
Version: 0.8-1
sbackup should be able to write to removeable media and this should be
the default. The purpose of a backup program is, after all, to put
the data somewhere separate from the machine.
sbackup should look through the available hardware on the machine and
make its own recommendation about which device to use for backups, and
of course allow the user to select another.
As a minimum, if the machine has USB, this should include removeable
USB devices, and if the machine has a CD- or DVD- writer, it should
include these. The architecture should allow additional types of
device to be added relatively easily.
Ideally it would also make sensible recommendations to the user about
whether (for example) to use reuseable or non-reuseable media. (These
would have to be regularly reviewed to ensure that they remain correct
as media prices change.)
I'm reporting this as `normal' rather than `wishlist' because IMO this
is an important piece of functionality without which sbackup isn't
finished.
(FYI: my tests have all been on Ubuntu Breezy. Adam Conrad said I
should send my request to the Debian BTS.)
Ian.
