1. After I open backup dialog, qubes manager fades out. It is uncomfortable: I might want to use it. For example, I selected which VMs i'm going to backup, and realized, that my external drive is not connected now. I want to use qubes manager to attach external drive, but it is unavailable. Or I want to shut down some VMs, or start VM to send backup there.
2. Backup process does not block me from turning on VM that is now in backup process. That makes no sense. If VM should be turned off during backup, I should not be able to turn it on. At least without --force flags.
