Have it as depends also make unable to uninstall it.Is this okay or is there some other reason why it's better to be in depends?SSH profiles is not an optional feature. It is in-build. BIT doesn't check if sshfs is installed or not. It will cause several unexpected errors and maybe exceptions. This increase maintenance burden and confuse users. And we also don't want to implement checks like this with extra code. For example the GUI should reflect the fact that SSH is not installed, e.g. via disable the SSH entries in the drop-down menu. But we don't want to do that.IMHO sshfs is not that exotic.
I think that many people use it locally or remote destinations mounted in other way (for example iscsi, external device connected at backup time etc...)To back up to SSH or encrypted filesystems, install the additional sshfs or encfs packages.
I also use in that way, in one my personal computer I mount the backup destination before the backup, I launch backup and when finished I umount the destination.
In the case I don't remember to mount before when open backintime it show me a popup of missed destination, so I mount it and then I proceed.
I don't have time right now to do some tests of backup to ssh to see exactly how it behaves
Other people have any suggestions if sshfs is better as an depends or recommended?
