[Box Backup] Backup Stats ?

[Matt Brown]

Hi,

Looking through some of the older posts to this list (around Sept-Nov  
04) I noticed a few threads about backup stats.

I am currently running Box Backup 0.10 (Chris Merge 1794) for a  
handful of clients in place of an Rsync script - clients however were  
used to the verbose output to show what files were backed up and the  
rsync summary at the end of the batch was also semi-informative...

Is there likely to be a similar feature for Box  ? I did grab the  
bbclientstatus.pl script along with the box::config perl mod which  
can email the last backup etc of a client which is great for me to  
see the status of the clients, and poke this data at Nagios, however  
I think what the clients would love to see is something along the  
lines of:

1. Did it backup last night ?
2. What size was the backup.
3. Any errors ?
4. Space left on store/used.

Any thoughts ?

Keep up the fantastic work on this project, I am a great fan and of  
course as always I am happy to test or assist if need be :-)
