(Get the code!)
Well,
The way it works NOW: you get error message and then you have to click OK, plug in the missing media, reconfigure backup, run backup
only tech savvy people will put up with that.
The way it SHOULD run is: you get message informing that the media is missing and asking you to plug it in and to click "OK" button and the backup continues, or click "Cancel" which takes you to selection of another media, and maybe another button - "remind in x minutes".
Many people have external hard drives which are not plugged in all the time and getting an error (or not getting an error and not doing a backup)
People want GUI backup because they want the ease of use, and the current workaround IMHO is not much user-friendlier than using CLI.
