Future Enhancements (Planned)
-----------------------------
* Setting to allow for verbose TAR logging for troubleshooting purposes (@Ripshod)

Completed:
----------
* change the default name of the /tmp/mnt/usbdrive so that it's easier to identify that it has not been changed. Perhaps red arrow?
* Create a log of errors (visortgw), and a notification if errors occurred on screen after backup runs (vibroverbus)
* Possibility of supporting NFS in addition to CIFS/SMB
* Edit exclusion file wth nano under setup menu
* logic to see if source and target are same with USB being active, seeing if exclusion for backup folder exists, if not give warning and option to add
* Possible email/text notifications in case of failure through AMTM communication features
* Do a tar.gz integrity validation after backup completes
* Possibility of supporting SMB v1.0 or v2.0 for backwards compatibility
* Redirect screen output to a logfile
* Option to add the -backup switch to the cron job
* Not defining color variables and display in B/W (per @PeterT)
* Capture network target type (network or USB) to determine if an unmount needs to be run
* Add support to allow user to chose which device they want backed up... sda1 = default
* Make it so that the purge doesn't have the backupmon headers, unless you run it from the config menu
* Add other info to the text file... like router model, firmware version...
* Possibly do a check of old/current firmware version and warn before a restore (like router model)
* Add a ping test to the network connection tester
* A connection tester functionality to test backup target username/pwd/paths for a successful connection
* Allow for multiple configs to perform redundant backups to multiple targets
* Allow for automated purging
* Allow choice between doing backups in 1 week, 1 month, or 1 year cycles
* Schedule a regular backup event in CRON
