went back and read if I got this correct the backupmenu 1.2.0-2 in cssu extra devel is updated to work. correct me if I am wrong.

it works though I am wondering if anybody knows why when I restored a backup to my second system I had less free space in rootfs.
I used compressed tarballs of rootfs and optfs instead of regular tarballs.
