buttons in main window: move Backup to the left and Restore to the right

[mb]

Hello,

I think the big Backup-button should be placed on the left side in the main window because normally you read from left to right. Before you can restore stuff you need to back it up. I checked some other backup-solutions and everywhere the backup-button is on the left or on the top while the restore-button is placed on the right or on the bottom.

Thank you for the bug report!

While I concede that Backup, then Restore would make sense based reading from left-to-right, I don't think that's how the UI should look.

Having Backup on the left, then Restore on the right might be useful if they were usually done in sequence. Like, first you backup, then you immediately restore. But that's not the case. Usually you want one or the other. So I designed according to how the GNOME Human Interface Guideline's suggests dialog button should be ordered:

"The eyes of people who read left-to-right tend towards the upper-left and lower-right corners of boxes. Therefore the action the user is most likely to perform should be located in the lower-right corner. With this button order, the action the user is most likely to perform is always in the same place and is always the most noticeable." (http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/proposals/dialog.html)

Thank you for the suggestion!
