Bug Description

To preseed backintime configurations Backintime should provide a possiblility to use variables in the config file.

Example:
The backupdestination for a user is in /backup/USER/.
So it should be possible to use 'snapshots.path=/backup/$(USER)' or something.

With this one could 'preseed' the backup configuration for every user in /etc/skel
