You bet it would. Have the users just put something in a backup
directory and leave it overnight. Just about idiot-proof.

No opinion.

Hmmm, give the system admin the ability to do an on-demand backup run
just prior to doing some serious system work. That would be useful to
save some important stuff before a scheduled network outage or such.
GUI interface works. Add / delete critical systems to look for if
space is limited? IP ranges? Couple possibilities.
Just my $0.02 worth.
