How's that proper backup utility coming?

If the backup tool creates a backup which is not recoverable without it, you can also pipe the backuped data into the trashcan; just put the saved data in a standard zip file or similar (as savegamebackup.net, gamesavemanager etc do).
In addition it does not use native user interface elements which is also a big negative in my book.
Other suggestions:
- do not rely on an online connection, make the utility have a local database first and do cache the stuff.
- there is no log file.
Perhaps I'll whip up a proper backup utility in Python which has more saner defaults.
Another thing is that this utility produces filenames which are too long on Windows.
