Remember that there are people out there who really only want to back up

collection, with rsnapshot?  Great for a SysAdmin but poor for a typical
user.

I'm sure most people have other things to backup as well. I think there are good, easy, gui-driven backup solutions available for linux (I didn't look), so I would "expect" people to use *them* :-)

You might disagree, but still I think backup is not a job for a "regular" program, be it a word processor, photo manager, music manager or what-have-you.

But if people want it and the dev's wanna spend time on it, no problem...
