Sorry, home i mean /home/user.

As the procedure goes fast, I thought it would be a good idea to have two different sets of software. Sharing the same /home/user directory seems to be no problem. So i have to exclude my personal preferences in a restore. Therefore I must be able to backup/restore my personal preferences separately.

home and opt should be separated. home is user data and has nothing to do with the system itself. opt belongs to root.
Separating this in BackupMenu would improve this software with greater possibilities.

I think. Could be wrong of course.
