Hi,
Instead of reading directly from files and directories, I think people
should start with creating proper reporting API for BackupPC.
One this reporting API is already in place, a lot of other beneficial
plugin can be created, just by querying this API.
Example reporting API:
- no. of pending backup
- no. of pending user backup
- pool size
- total file in pool
- repeated file
- longest chain
- etc
This info is somehow being calculated by BackupPC, but not being exposed
via proper API.
See http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/BackupPCServerStatus.html
