[Box Backup] Boxi NG (screenshots included)

[Linus Brimstedt]

Hello,

I have not managed to test Boxi yet, but Im about to give it a try.

If there are not already some automated nightly build from SVN, I'd be more
than happy to setup such a system (for windows and linux at least, for other
OS's I'd need help.)
