redorescue-3.0.2.iso
I have tried this on two real systems and one VirtualBox system by booting from USB.
The first Backup screen displays all drives and I select the 2nd drive (sdb) and press Next
The next screen then asks me to select the partitions on sda !!!
No matter what drive I choose in the first screen, the next partition screen always displays sda partitions.
I can't believe I am the first person to find this?

The problem seems to be that you cannot change the disk! After boot...
1. Select sda as the disk to backup
2. Click Back
3. Select sdb as the disk to backup
4. (only sda partitions are shown)
OR after boot
1. Select sdb as the disk to backup
2. Click Back
3. Select sda as the disk to backup
4. (only sdb partitions are shown)

Would you be able to open an issue on Github? We haven't seen this come up before and it seems to be a pretty big deal.
To be clear, are you saying that:
1) If you had not clicked "Back" then it would have functioned normally, but
2) when you click "Back" and change drives, the change does not take effect (and you are stuck with the original selection)?
Thank you for your input!

You are exactly correct. We missed this the first time around, but upon testing with two SATA drives, the behavior you describe is present. The only way to correct it is to close and re-open the Redo application. We've opened an issue to get this fixed in the next release. Thanks again for your input!

Hi Steve,
Would you be able to open an issue on Github? We haven't seen this come up before and it seems to be a pretty big deal.

Well its very easy to test for yourself. Why don't you confirm it?
