Thanks, that would be appreciated.  I've been using scripts around
rdiff-backup which have provided reliable backup and restore for a few
years now, but the requirement for homogeneous python versions can be a
pain in the arse. 

I particularly like the daemon-based approach and encryption options in the
boxbackup feature list.  The 'FTP-like client' restore of boxbackup could
be nice too.  (You have to be pretty geeky to restore from an rdiff-backup
archive...)
