Request

I'm not sure about its behavior when the last backup location isn't available at the time of clicking on it (e.g. a removed hdd/ssd).

Current behavior

Clicking the card calls RevealInFinder(state.outputDir) which errors with "stat: no such file or directory" if the drive is gone.

Expected behavior

Detect the missing path BEFORE invoking Finder.
Surface a toast explaining the destination is unreachable AND open the native picker so the user can pick a new destination (or cancel).
