Hi,
I noticed that backup/restore is not working with SMB. However I did notice that when I use
mount -o user=$USER //server/share ~/Backup
it works just fine.

The backup and restore functions in the LE settings add-on are intentionally simple and save/load only to/from a "local" filesystem path; the intention is to support users saving the backup to a USB drive. However Linux is Linux, so if you go and mount a remote filesystem to a local path then it becomes accessible.

I moved my backups to the network since the sdcard had limited storage. I could see and select a backup for restore, but it just sat there idle instead of doing its thing. An error message would have been nice
