Bug Description

In Ubuntu, using Unity, the most common way to start any of the Sbackup tools is via text search. This gives you a list of, e.g., all 'apps' related to 'backup'. For Sbackup, the config and the restore tool are listed twice, once for the user version and once for the admin version. But both are named and labeled exactly the same, so there is no way to distinguish them (except that, at least for me, the admin version always is first in the list). I think the names should be changed to reflect the difference. I'd suggest something like:

Simple Backup-Configuration (admin)
Simple Backup-Restore (admin)
Simple Backup-Configuration
Simple Backup-Restore
