Me too

It was the only time I tried backupmenu. In view of this and the fact that the backupmenu.item entry for bootmenu is behaving in an "unfriendly" manner, so to speak, I was planning to remove backupmenu (at least for now), and, now that Pali's recovery console is working fine, one could implement backupmenu's functionality (or a subset thereof) in a couple of scripts safely stored under /root (or even /).

After all, it's mostly tar/untar and mount/umount, so it would be "more or less" easy to implement by hand.

Of course still better would be to figure out the problem with Backupmenu and/or Busybox-Power
