Bug Description
Currently, when backintime is running the backup job, I could see a system tray icon that pops up a dialog displaying current file being backed up.
1. The pop remains static and not does not indicate any change in progress even if the job is done with the file and has moved on to next file. Can this be made dynamic to reflect the current file being worked upon?
2. The popup dialog has Cancel and OK buttons? This might confuse the users as they might think that clicking on 'Cancel' will abort the backup process. I feel OK button alone would suffice.
3. A notification balloon (OSD) in the System tray would be nice:
> It could be made to appear when the scheduled backup starts and finishes with some sort of acknowledgement message at the start and at the end.
> On mouse over the system tray icon, you could progressively display some sort of status information, like current file being processing, % complete, estimated time or time elapsed and things like that.

I have not popup dialog. Only a notification balloon that appear on error it the right option is set.
The tooltip also change but once displayed it remains unchanged until the next time it will be showed.
The same to the balloon. I didn't found a way to update it while it is displayed.
