I haven't posted in a while but I was wondering if anyone is running rdiff-backup in a similar way I do (or wants to). I run from a single server to multiple clients, and tie everything together with shell scripts so that my students can keep an eye on everything with simple text files. I don't like gui, but many people do. A simple tk front-end would make this into an instant gui. Anyway, if people want to look at the scripts(not perfect, but they work well) you can grab them from

ftp://boulder.colorado.edu/pub/local-sources/rdiff-wrapper.tar.gz

they are just born, but it allows hands off administration. I may also add docs/etc if people show an interest. In addition there are utilites that convert the configs to a simple amanda disklist for those of you who like to backup your mirrors to tape(I do, with 2 months saved every month). All you would need is a config entry for the "rdiff-mirror" type:

define dumptype rdiff-mirror {
    global-tar
    comment "dirs that are an rdiff-backup mirror"
    compress client best
# if you only want the current data, uncomment below
#    exclude "rdiff-backup-data"
    priority high
    maxdumps 1
}
