I really like your suggestion. I've probably just been using the program the way it is for so long I didn't think of how the interface probably seemed to new users. With your suggestions in mind I've merged in the following changes.
Here you can see the new prompt when running the program. This is where you choose to either backup or restore. These options have been removed from the settings area so now that is only for setup of the remote directory.
If you choose restore a list of restore points, pulled from your destination, are displayed and you choose the one you want to restore from. This eliminates the need to check your destination directory and type in a file name.
One other large merge that was done today is the merging of the Dropbox file system with the master branch. This will allow you to use Dropbox as a remote destination without needing the Dropbox client on your XBMC machine. The addon will write directly to the cloud store. Please be warned additional setup is required here to authorize the addon to work with Dropbox, so read the Readme file.
I plan on testing these changes more over the next few days but expect a push to the Frodo repo by the weekend. I am going to try and merge the GUI changes into the Eden branch as well but Dropbox will remain a Frodo only feature.
