I'm the maintainer of pybackpack and I follow the rdiff-backup list so thanks for mentioning it. I'd like to clarify some points: > ## PythonGTK2+ GUI for RDB ## It requires some GNOME specific widgets to work at the moment. I'm planning on stripping these and using GTK+ widgets only. > Should work in CygWin under windows, too: It should do in theory but I've yet to hear from anyone who has managed it (and I don't have a Windows machine to test it on), so it probably doesn't :-) Also, I'm not sure if the switch has happened but Sivan Greenberg mentioned something about switching HUBackup to use rdiff-backup: http://sivang.blogspot.com/2007/10/hubackup-and-rdiff-backup-or-how-i.html There are some things I'd like to see changed in rdiff-backup to make writing a UI for it easier (e.g. progress callbacks, no sys.exit() calls). I'll probably start a new thread or submit some patches about these points when I've done more research into them. My thanks go to Andrew Ferguson and the other contributors for keeping rdiff-backup ticking. It's much appreciated.
