RE: [rdiff-backup-users] Web Interface

[Ian Neubert]

David,

I have some PHP code that I've written to handle backups of my systems here
at the office. I'd be more than happy to share it with you incase you find
any of it useful. I use it as command-line PHP, so  maybe it could help in
the backend of your code?

Mine handles all types of backups though (ex. samba,
filesystem-to-filesystem, & mysql databases), with rdiff-backup used to keep
everything incremental.
