Bug Description
The default location for backups is /home, for which the user does not have write access. If you don't notice that the location is /home vs. /home/<username> the program reports success through Notify OSD but the backup file is not created. Found this out the hard way, lost all my repos on a reinstall. :(

That's weird, for me it asks to save the backup in /home/myusername. But I'll change the way it retrieves the home folder. I'll also add a check to make sure the notification is correct. Thanks!
