Bug Description
With no warning in the release notes (as far as I could see), upgrading to Bionic has removed and prevented re-installation of Simple Backup, sbackup.
A message "Removed, Core functionality" or something similar, was presented in the "remove packages" detail screen.
However this seems to prevent restoration of any backups created by Simple Backup. So not only do users have to configure a different backup solution, they have also lost access to all their backup history.
Was this considered, and if so is there some guidance available to affected users? If not, there probably should be, at least to recover or migrate the backups.
