If the target directory isn't accessable, execution of backup daemon and
restoration gui fails:

This bug is related to restoration gui and backup daemon:
* if the target directory isn't mounted, execution of the restoration gui fails with following exception:

More desirable are following solutions:
    1) a fallback directory (e.g. /var/backup) should be opened/used as target directory; the user must get informed
    2) an error message occurs and informs the user; afterwards the application is terminated and the user has to mount the orignally specified target directory or to change the specified directory using the configuration tool
