Well, I wouldn't consider myself as belonging to the group you mention above, but in my case the conclusion (for now) is that Backupmenu is not really needed. Once you have a working recovery console, all you need is already there, namely: mount, dd and tar

Lately I haven't got much time but I'm still trying to solve a minor problem, which is major for me, i.e. the keyboard layout.

After that, my plan would be to maybe write a couple of scripts to work as a front-end for the above-mentioned tools. A "GUI" might be nice, but it's not really necessary IMHO.
