* 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.

* 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.
