I'm afraid it's not clear for the average user. I think 2 check boxes would be clearer. And in my opinion they should be both checked by default, but I understand that you don't want to change the behaviour of the program by default.

Also I think people would like to see some short and proper explanation about what is "config files" and "data files". Something like "/home/user/.* [smaller than 8MB]" in the first box, and "/home/user/*" in the second box.

I've been thinking that maybe what I really need is a fork of systemback called something like sysinstall ;) But I don't like forks and I don't know how to do it :) The idea is that there are too many options already in systemback and like you said before, I am only using the "Create Live System" and installing it. There should be some piece of software that doesn't need a user guide to make the normal install. People in general hate user guides and don't read them. Or even worse, they just don't install something that first they have to read a user guide.

About Gparted, it doesn't matter if there is no proper icon. The only thing needed is a botton to do the partitioning. If you are going to create something more beautiful and easier like the Ubuntu install with automatic resizing of the Windows partition, etc. then it's OK, but if you are going to develop something with less features than GParted... I'd just prefer to see a link to Gparted for the moment.
