I am currently rewriting my backup application, fwbackups, into C++ and I am 
planning on using Box Backup as a backend. I would like my application to 
target mainly desktop users so my goal is to make the UI extremely simple 
and easy to use.

Although I still have to create the restore UI, I've (mostly) completed the 
user and server administrator applications. The Qt UI files here:
https://github.com/firewing1/fwbackups/tree/cplusplus

I don't have any screenshots online yet, but I could post some if you don't 
have the Qt developer tools installed.

Cheers,
Stewart
