i am puzzled that simple backup-configuration and simple backup-restoration cannot be found under 'system/administration' but under 'system tools' and also under 'accessories'

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Thanks for reporting this issue and helping to make sbackup better.

This bug was introduced in version 0.11.3 which is packaged in Ubuntu 10.10. It is fixed in sbackup 0.11.4 in current Ubuntu releases. Please update. (Altenatively, you can use sbackup's latest version from our PPA, have a look at the project's launchpad page.)

Thank you.
