How to use the Fuse plugins (curlftpfs, sshfs) instead of the GIO backend in 0.3?

The default setting in 0.3 is to use the GIO backend for filesystem operations.

If you want to use the Fuse plugins known from previous versions of nssbackup instead you can enable the Fuse backend as follows:

1. install the according packages (nssbackup-ftp, nssbackup-ssh)
2. modifiy the Gconf setting that controls what filesystem backend to use:
    * Open the gconf configuration editior. Go to Applications. Select 'sbackup' (yes, sbackup not nssbackup, this is for easier transition when merging nssbackup and sbackup soon).
    * Select 'global preferences->fs_backend'. Set it to 'fuse'.

Important note: The setting is per user, i.e. if you want 'root' to use the fuse plugins (e.g. for scheduled backups) you'll have to start the configuration editor with superuser rights (use 'gksu gconf-editor').

The modified setting is used at the next start of any nssbackup application (nssbackupd, nssbackup-config-gui, nssbackup-restore-gui).
