#1170 PR merged: Drop useless Abort choice in USB backup selection dialog¶

Labels: cleanup, fixed / solved / done

jsmeix opened issue at 2017-01-18 09:34:¶

An "Abort" choice in any 'select' dialog is useless
because simple [Ctrl]+[C] also aborts ReaR.

Cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1166

With that change recovery with backup on USB
and aborting at the USB backup selection dialog
works as follows:

RESCUE e205:~ # rear -d -D recover
...
Backup archive /tmp/rear.JAM8egDNTgZlexj/outputfs/rear/e205/20170117.1311/backup.tar.gz detected.

When there are no objections I will "just merge" it.

Only FYI:
Same kind of backup selection dialog is also in
verify/RBME/default/540_choose_backup.sh
but I won't touch that because I know nothing at all about
the RBME (Rsync Backup Made Easy) backup method.
