Thank you for the bug report!

Can you give more information about where you are trying to back up? It looks like the destination directory did not exist?

You are right. I have been using this program for some time and didn't
check closely enough.
The panel listing various drives etc "places" has changed in the last
week or so. I use a Kingston
thumb drive and the panel in Lucid and Karmic always displayed
"kingston" this has changed to "new drive"
in the last week and I did not pick up on it and re-edit the program. My
fault.
Could I suggest the error message be a little less cryptic for the less
technical.
Its a great program by the way.
Paul
