In English, it's "Please check if...", written by the previous author. I agree it could be more succinct.

In french I only see incremental backup. If this is sub option, you'd better ident to the right these radio buttons and not put them at the same line so that text can fit in window at minimum size + Drakbackup -> Manual Configuration -> More Options : at minimum size text entry for email hide end of text "send an email after each backup" [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -q drakxtools drakxtools-9.2-0.23mdk
