Suggestion for automatic backup options
Reported by Alex "Alexspeed" Bachner | December 15th, 2009 @ 10:34 AM
from Beta 2.2.3
this is reposted from #112 to make this suggestion seperate from the bug there.
The "Include Bioware DLC"-Option should not be default savable,
it fills the harddrive with every backup with unneccessary large
data and it leads to severe waiting time every time the DAModder is
opened. My recommendation is to disable this for automatic backups
and only allow it for custom backup saves.
The good thing is that its working as intended.

I'm a fan of not limiting people without a very good reason. If someone wants to set backup options that result in very large default backups, then that is their choice. I'm not convinced it should be limited.
I could just as easily make a huge backup with my save games, or mod assets. Should those be disabled too?

I've reworded the screen a bit to hopefully make it a bit more clear what those settings do.
