Mint Backup

I decided to try Mint Backup to see how it works, and ran into a small problem. I have no idea where it output the backup to, or if it even finished. I did get an error that it was not able to process a folder. I figured it was just that folder, so I clicked the "ok" button, and the window closed. That was it. The whole program closed with no indication whether or not anything had actually finished. If you know something I don't clue me in.

Ok I found it. The resulting backup file was put in my home directory. This is actually a nice little utility, although I'd prefer to have the option up front to have the file put on another drive.

The resulting backup file was put in my home directory.

Which makes mintbackup pretty useless to back up a home folder - Clem is working on it, I've read about it but don't remember exactly what he was thinking of

Well yes I'd have to agree that backing up your /home folder to your /home folder doesn't make much sense, lol. Once I actually found it though it was simple enough to then move it. Hopefully Clem can make a simple dialog box that allows the user to both name the file, and choose the output directory. That would be a huge improvement.
