WebFrontEnd
From RdiffBackupWiki
Building a WebFrontEnd for rdiff-backup should be trivial given the support for web transactions in python. Or, having a more featureful computer readable format would be nice. CVS web front ends might be a good example to follow... The web front end would simplify creating a GUI tool to access files and older revisions for "near-line" backups.
This is supplied by SLBackups webmin frontend http://alioth.debian.org/projects/slbackup/ , there is documentation in norweigian http://developer.skolelinux.no/~klaus/notater/x2083.html but it's pretty easy to understand anyways. Is anything else needed?
We have written a web frontend for restoring rdiff-backup stuff.
It was for a client where we are (still) developing the windows gui onto of rdiff-backup.
He is interested in selling it, so if anyone wants a copy, please email me at dave@solutionsfirst.com.au and we can negotiate a license and a price. Open source licenses considered.
You can see a preview of the web interface here: http://solutionsfirst.com.au/~dave/backup/screenshots/ We have finished all the features and done most of the bugtesting. Our client is getting his product to market now, and still deciding on how to make it available. Odds on, we may have an offsite-backup-business in a box based on rdiff-backup available. The arrangement would be that you get a copy of all our work (windows GUI, webinterface, shell script glue), some documentation, source code and limited support for a set fee. No redistribution allowed however - my client is interested in protecting the income from selling the product. I can arrange for a preview copy of the windows GUI if you contact me.
