  I can choose "Compression method for attic files" with "bz2", but with "bz2" set new data/attic files are not created. So all old data of changed lines/files are lost from the moment when "bz2" is set.
  
  I can can change back to the "gzip" and everything works normally. Again, with "bz2" no attic files are created.
  
  
  
  System: gentoo, amd x86-64, app-arch/bzip2-1.0.3-r6, dev-lang/php-5.2.2-r1, net-www/apache-2.0.59

  I've forwarded a patch for the config plugin that prevents this value being offered if PHP does not support the bzip2 extension.  This doesn't stop a user incorrectly choosing this setting if editing their configuration files manually.  Is it worth DW protecting itself against such an incorrect setting?

  Line 123 and following in inc/init.php should already do this protection!?

  Yes.  I didn't spot that.  I guess this can be closed now.

  The strange thing is the check was in place a long time before this bug was submitted...

  Actual issue was config plugin using an incorrect value for bzip2; 'bzip' instead of 'bz2'.  Patch sent.
