Backup Central

The todo list for the windows port is here :

Although somewhere else I found that the company
solutionsfirst says that they are working on a
window's version. Any idea if they will be charging
for it ?

we distribute a gui for rdiff-backup on windows that schedules jobs
(perl scripts in the windows scheduled tasks) that call rdiff-backup. So
our gui is more a file selection and scheduling gui than an rdiff-backup
gui.
we then have a web interface that talks soap to the gui, or just uses a
normal webbrowser for restores. we have only just recently got the web
interface to point where it is multi-user enough to distribute to
different servers etc. It still requires some testing. Its basically a
php/mysql application that has users and users have backup repositories
that they can restore from. aside from that it ignores fs permissions
because they don't make any sense for web based restores. it also has a
few other features, but it only really calls rdiff-backup for past
increment restores.
nevertheless, we are still interested in recouping some of our
development cost in the web interface, just not sure exactly how to do
it. The client we developed it for is still around, however his offsite
backup business hasn't taken off as expected, so the cash is not as
forthcoming as we need.

contact me offlist if you need any more details about the web interface,
but at this stage due to development being vary slow and the client
unwilling to opensource it, we have been a bit stymied.

thanks

I wonder if the list on the wiki really covers it all. For example,
rdiff-backup stores permissions as a single long, which works fine for
*nix file permissions, but doesn't work for NTFS file permissions. I
suspect there are a fair number more issues like this that just haven't
come to the surface yet.
