No. As you mention yourself it would require a local application to do the 
work.

I think you may have missed the previous discussion on the list based on the 
"about page":

https://secure2.infoflex.se/rbbackup/user/about

The web interface is primarily targeted towards the situation where 
usability is more important than security.
You could also use it internally for handling your box backup server (no 
public access). Or limit "admin" access
to certain IP-addresses using a htaccess file.

So, the "Box Backup on Rails" approach would be suitable for some scenarios, 
but not all...
