           Summary: System Backup fails when and requires much more
                    refinement and can currently perform Incremental Backups

Issue 1 - Yast System backup only performs incremental backups. If you are
backing up regularly - great - however if you loose your first backup which
does contain the total system, as achieve bits have not been set - the
remaining incremental packages are useless and you can never recover to
original state. The user needs a choice of type of backup.
Issue 2 Very slow Searching for Modified files in my case on a P4 HT 3.2 2.00GB
and the root or system partition of 5GB of used space took over 18 mins and the
/home partition 4 GB took 9 minutes.

The date and time needs to be auto added to the file name as is the extension.

Adding files to tables took over 36 hours when an 
NFS drive was nominated after which time the process was aborted.

There also needs to be a Browse button next to file name grayed out when a NFS
backup location is chosen.

There is no ability to create a directory off an NFS drive even if NFS rights
permit.

When defining a Local File you have to specify absolute path - all ok, however
you can specify /home/unknown_subdirectory/backup.tar - in This case NO
subdirectory as specified is created and next operation proceeds. I am under
the assumption that when the achieve file is going to be written to local file
path as above that it would bomb out there 

With respect to "automatic Backup a"wake computer of suspended" option and
functionality is needed.

Please drastically increase the priority for CPU and RAM to a very high rate as
this application would normally be run without anything else being open and we
can afford the huge gulp of both CPU and RAM resources.

The Abort buttion will not kill the application - only after 20 or more
clicking on Abort MAY terminate the application

Please keep in mind we backup in-order to restore and with this in mind what do
we need to have in the backup program for a user to restore a PC to its total
original state.

Apologies for placing more than 1 issue in 1 bug, however this is deliberate as
the application modifications would be all done by one or one team. If you
would like these in separate issues please advise.

Classified as a BUG as it it impossible to backup the whole system - only
incremental. The Term System Backup is therefore invalid as no functionality
exists to create a full system backup.
