USB Backup 1.21 on OS5 missing "Incremental" option

I had an existing incremental backup job pre-OS5, but after upgrading, the job is gone (and USB Backup is its own app, etc).

I went to reconnect my USB drive and re-setup the job so I could do a new incremental backup, but the “Incremental” option is now missing for new jobs. Oddly, the tooltip text explaining it is still there. See screenshot below.

@negated NAS to USB Incremental backup hasn’t been supported in OS 3 firmware for a while now and is not supported in OS 5. However, USB to NAS Incremental backup is supported and thus the reason for the information in the tool tip which is not dependent on job selection type.

That’s unfortunate, but understood. Thanks for the pointer!
