Bug Description

Binary package hint: sbackup

Would like a popup window telling me how much time approx. to completion of backup ( that can be closed if wanted ) and also a popup notice that lets the user know when backup is complete ( option to close / closes auto after 1 minute )

I agree to the idea, but not to the suggested implementation.

in my opinion a notification icon whilst the backup/restore is being preformed, would be a cleaner way to do it, and if pop ups then only on click please.

Based on some very limited experience, some of the problems with sbackup are due to the deleted/purged files being moved to "Trash" rather than marked as open space on the disk/partition. This leads to the disk/partition being unwritable due to lack of space.

Fix for this was comitted to nssbackup trunk: a status icon (indicator) is added and information about progress and remaining time are presented there.
