• Type: New Feature

• Impact: High

• Reference to related issue (URL):
  https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/2514
  https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/799

• How was this pull request tested?
  I used DISKS_TO_BE_WIPED="" a lot on my openSUSE test VMs

• Brief description of the changes in this pull request:

In ReaR 2.7 default.conf has DISKS_TO_BE_WIPED='false'
so no disk is wiped to avoid possible regressions
until this new feature was more tested by interested users, see
https://github.com/rear/rear/blob/master/doc/rear-release-notes.txt

Now after ReaR 2.7 release I like to have this feature tested
by default by users who use our GitHub master code.
