* Currently, the actual backup and restore code only handles the interface. The back-end scripts are completely separated packages from Sugar. The only two back-ends are: (a) dsd rsync-based scripts alias backup-to-xs and (b) Martin Abente and Esteban Arias scripts ~~for compressing and copying~~ to ~~the back-end~~, alias backup-to-memory-stick.

The only two back-ends are: (a) dsd rsync-based scripts alias backup-to-xs and (b) Martin Abente and Esteban Arias scripts backing up to a memory stick, alias backup-to-memory-stick.

* One of the enhancements ideas is to move this code to Sugar by defining an abstract class or template for implementing backup and restore back-ends. This template should handle the interactions defined by the ~~Triggering~~ methods and ~~Progress~~ dialog.

* We should start by something simple like backup-to-memory-stick, but we could already have something in mind, based on web services and see if its makes sense under that scenario.
