email and browser backup too complex  
Written by florus the 16 Oct 10 at 10:50. Not an idea
Backing up documents and pictures is a very simple process as the relevant folders are listed under 'places'. Other essential data such as old emails and browser bookmarks are less easy to find.

Solution #1: create a new category under 'Places'.
Written by florus the 16 Oct 10 at 10:50.
The creation of a new category 'Internet' under 'Places', and modifying email clients and browsers to store the data that users are likely to want to backup on a regular basis in this location would make backing up this data more convenient.

Solution #2: Don't hide email folders

If the email inbox and other folders were not stored in a hidden file, they would be visible under home and could easily be copied to backup media as and when required.
