Yes, I was half way through an email suggesting we drop the NotifyRedAlert and use the NotifyAlert in the original Journal write error patch. Avoid the controversy and still get the main patch fix in. We can always revisit the Notifications as a separate design cycle, but I don't think it's a critical feature for the needed fix. > >> sugar/sl1842-journal-error-messates.patch >> >> The review has been swamped by a design discussion.

Sounds fair. I was going to suggest making sure there was at least a second user action needed after hitting a backup or restore button (I skimmed through the patch code but couldn't see a conformation warning step). A warning notification with Cancel/Backup, and Cancel/Restore could help avoid some accidents.
