I had a look at the "backup2-backup" script , and I tried to had some features like:
-backing up from or to an ibay
-to a local directory
-from or to an ssh location (only with RSA authentication)
-from a smb share (to save some client files)
With this, we could not only save files from the server but configure an SME server to save everything we want, even other server's config over the net. As I'm working in a office wich install and manage SME servers for SOHO, I think this could be usefull.
The script seems to work (I just made a few test, I'm still working on it and there're probably some bug) but I must modify the pannel. I've started to modify it but I heard that the e-smith::cgi module will be replaced by e-smith::Formmagik on futur versions, so I don't think spending time on that is interesting. I saw that you are rewriting it in FormMagik Darell. Don't know if you're interested in this features but if you're not, I'm interested in having a look at your new panel even if it's not finished 'cause I don't quite understand formmagik for now.
(sorry for the mistakes)
