This tool destroyed my complete backup folder #145

This is not actually a bug but I consider it a very serious issue that should not happen without warning so I decided to post it here. I think the problem comes from the fact, that the tool combines "mount / create" in one single command. So I selected an encrypted folder containing a yearly backup, as far as I remember it was created using ecryptfs and maybe encfs4win is not compatible with it. Anyway, without a warning I ended up with this folder being empty only containing this tool's .xml config file. Now I am trying to recover the NTFS folder using multiple recovery tools but without any luck so I consider the backup gone forever.
