I am sorry to hear that they dropped it. It is a nice front end to Dar. 
Makes doing ad-hoc backups much easier. It is a simple program and as far 
as I can tell it works. So that is probably why there isn't much activity 
on it. Hopefully the powers that be will see fit to return it to the repos. 
by the next LTS release of Ubuntu. I have been using it with Dapper and 
have not found a better alternative.
