I grant you a brief peek into our internal software<br>requirements... :-)<br><br> <a href="http://22.3.1.3">22.3.1.3</a>: The Application manager shall suggest a backup to be taken<br> before a system update is installed.

<br><br>My thought is that it might be worthwhile to have a constant warning written at the bottom of the "Check for Updates" dialog in the Application manager. A user should really backup before any update, but prompting with a dialog that frequently will only encourage users to ignore it. Major updates should definitely come with a dialog, and as this occurs less frequently perhaps people might actually read it and heed the warning ;)
<br><br>The trade off, I suppose, is such a constant warning will take up screen real estate. My $0.02<br><br>--Paul<br></div><br></div>
