This is great news: Will we also get a nice tray/dock status icon 
(wxTaskBarIcon [1]) that shows the current health of the backup system?

Ideally, Boxi would really be the frontend to graphically select the 
data to be backed up, to run restores and compares, and upon pressing 
"Backup" Boxi send a "Sync" notification to the running bbackupd process.

Is this along what you have in mind?

Thanks, Achim
