jonathon [1] filed a deletion request for qt5-fsarchiver [2]:

There is a severe bug which may result in deletion of the root
partition:

https://sourceforge.net/p/qt4-fsarchiver/discussion/1196657/thread/f382575a/?limit=25

Developer's response is here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/qt4-fsarchiver/discussion/1196657/thread/f382575a/#c7e3
, essentially "don't kill the backup process or your partition will be
wiped".

This seems needlessly potentially harmful and likely represents a
severe breakage in the underlying software. Removing the "cancel" UI
button isn't a fix for potential data loss given the variety of ways
of closing or interrupting a program's operation.
