RE: [rdiff-backup-users] Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) forrdiff-backup - Later as Wiki-Entry - Request for comments now

[Lucas Burdick]

I've had pretty good success with RdiffWeb.  It's quite easy to set up and 
fast.  The newest version (0.6.3) is able to use SSL as well for secure 
connections.

I cannot comment on the others however.

Oliver,

I have not used any of the GUI tools either.

Personally I run rdiff-backup on a few different fileservers.  It
would be nice to give the users a HTTP interface to the backups, etc.

So if you do document whats out there, please organize them by user
interface:  X / KDE / HTTP / Windows native / etc.

Thanks
Greg
