Package: sbackup Version: 0.10.5 Severity: normal Hello, in the Destination tab it would be nice to have an option to check if the backup directory is on a separate partition. I think that many people do backup on an external hard-disk (I use a 1TB external hd for that) mounted on the host machine and the backup files go there.
This is particularly important if the size of the backup is huge and the mountpoint of the external disk is under / : if, by any chance, the machine reboots (not under user control, by night for example) and the external disk is not mounted, the backup will come to / and will fill it, leading to a DoS (hence the severity to normal).
