OK, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post it, but here it goes anyway.
I think it would be cool if BackupPC (
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/) would be integrated into ebox, so it can really act as a central server for all needs, including backups.
Reason:
BackupPC is written in Perl, just like ebox.
In addition, it only uses tools that are already present on a stock ebox installation (excluding rsync perhaps).
Unlike other backup solutions, BackupPC requires no special client-side tools to be installed, which really helps ease of use. It can use anything from SSH, SMB or Rsync.
BackupPC is entirely disk based, so no tape handling is necessary.
Any thoughts?
