Moin! According to CHANGES, it's a feature that was introduced in late 2015, and first released with 1.1.10 in 2016. It apparently came from a PR: https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/commit/16a21f613d7d67b58f938fb337f809... as a starting attempt to implement #480 (bare-metal full-system restore: https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/480). A few months later, the button was hidden again, citing the fact that development was incomplete: https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/commit/dfbd4bb17c1b312a8a21c258096ddf... – judging by the commit and release dates, this was probably released with version 1.1.14. Therefore, 1.1.10 and 1.1.12 probably were the only versions ever to show that button. The feature was never fully implemented, and I would personally consider it out-of-scope for backintime (even though users frequently wish for it). I'd say it's safe and sensible to remove the feature entirely, by reverting these three commits – but there could be more commits involved, and I haven't checked for that: https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/commit/157d2b46109f7b9510db7723b3e3e7... https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/commit/16a21f613d7d67b58f938fb337f809... https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/commit/dfbd4bb17c1b312a8a21c258096ddf...

Hello Folks,
there is a FAQ entry talking about a button or menu entry named "Modify for Full System Backup". I couldn't find it anywhere. Does someone can find it? Or is it gone and we can drop that FAQ entry?
