[Box Backup] Bug#416605: ITP: boxbackup -- Server and Clients for the BoxBackup remote backup system

[Richard Hurt]

This looks really great.  Is there something we can do to show
support?  Vote for the issue in Debian or something?  I have
subscribed to the bug but I don't know if that will help at all.

Thanx!
