Thanks Dave,

BackupPC seems to be only a web/cgi frontend and management tool to 
different unix console tools.
Maybe I am wrong but I think you have to know the right archive for the 
right file to restore.
I have to backup only a single server and so I don't see any advantages 
in BackupPC over my scripted tools. Maybe the point'n'click web thingy 
can be an advantage but I would prefer something console based.
Do I have a wrong imagination of BackupPC now?
