[Box Backup-dev] Self-introduction

[Stewart Adam]

Hi,

First of all, I wanted to mention how impressed I am with Box Backup. 
Keep up the good work!

My name is Stewart Adam and I'm the developer of fwbackups, a user 
backup program. So far fwbackups has been a wrapper to other utilities 
(rsync+tar) with a GUI built around it, but I have been slowly rewriting 
fwbackups into C++ to add some more features and make it more efficient 
than my current implementation in Python.

One of my main goals for fwbackups was to make a user backup program 
that was very easy to use, but not to sacrifice any features or 
flexibility in the process of doing so. I came accross Box Backup the 
other day, and it already does much of what I wanted to accomplish [1] 
with the C++ rewrite of fwbackups.

There are a few thing I'm looking at extending in order to make box 
backup satisfy my project goals:
* A cross-platform GUI interface that could administrate backup 
configurations and jobs or perform file restores
* Support for backups to local folders (and therefore any mounted 
drives) & optical media
* Support for multiple users on a single machine (still need to 
investigate the possibility of running multiple non-root daemons)
* Support for multiple backup configurations per user (data can be 
grouped and can have different settings, or be uploaded to different box 
backup servers)

Would this something something that the development team is interested 
in collaborating on?

Regards,
Stewart
