Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for rdiff-backup
Most will use rdiff-backup via commandline (for automating backups), but some users don't feel comfortable with/are used to graphical interfaces, so the below list might help.
Software's status (version and maintained) as of 2009-01-12.
The requirements listed below are in addition to normal (command-line) rdiff-backup needs (Python, librsync, ...)

GTK+ / PyGTK
None currently, but below pyBackPack could be cleaned up and the last Gnome-specific dependencies removed. From the maintainer of pyBackPack, Andrew Price: It requires some GNOME specific widgets to work at the moment. I'm planning on stripping these and using GTK+ widgets only.
A Gtk+ GUI for allowing the user to take backups and create rollbacks in the DAR (DiskArchiver) format. Could be made to work with rdiff-backup: http://sivang.blogspot.com/2007/10/hubackup-and-rdiff-backup-or-how-i.html

Windows via CygWin Unix-Emulation Layer
pyBackPack could be ported to work cross-platform (e.g. in CygWin under windows with PythonGTK(2)+), too, hints: http://lists.sucs.org/pipermail/pybackpack/2007-May/000033.html
From the maintainer of pyBackPack, Andrew Price: It should [run under CygWin] in theory but I've yet to hear from anyone who has managed it.
