[Box Backup] very early alpha!

[Mitja Muženič]

Nick,
 
this is great news!
 
Is it too soon in the development cycle to give feedback? 
 
1. your alpha zip is missing Visual C runtime library MSVCP71.DLL. Can be
downloaded from http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcp71,
if somebody else needs it.

2. bbackupd is crashing on start for me (XP Pro, SP2):

E:\bbtest>bbackupd.exe -c bbackupd.conf
No random device -- additional seeding of random number generator not
performed.

3. Do you have a sample bbackupd.conf file? I'm mostly interested in path
and filename semantics.

4. boxquery.exe logs into the store, but dies on list. Usage works, though.

E:\bbtest>boxquery.exe -c bbackupd.conf

5. Just curious: any reason why you changed the query tool name from
bbackupquery to boxquery ?
