Support
The following are projects that extend or enhance Box Backup functionality. Please add yours to this wiki page.
Management GUI
This is a web interface for managing a Box Backup server, under development in the Box Backup trunk as a contribution. See WebManagementInterface for more details.
Boxi
Written by Chris Wilson, Boxi is a cross-platform frontend to Box Backup, that provides a GUI for configuring the bbackupd daemon, as well as comparing and restoring files from the server. It can be found at http://boxi.sourceforge.net.
BoxBackup::Config
The BoxBackup::Config Perl module gives access to (some of) the Box Backup configuration files from Perl. Currently the access is read-only, and only gives access to the accounts.txt and raidfile.conf files. BBConfig can be downloaded from CPAN.
bbClientStatus
Per Thomsen created bbClientStatus. It is a perl script that, externally to Box, checks when the last backup was made, for individual clients or all clients for a server. It can email results, and can also be used as an easily parseable file, for other programs to use as input. The package can be downloaded here.
bbClientStatus uses the BoxBackup::Config package.
Nagios plugins
If you're using Nagios to monitor your systems, these plugins might be of use to you. They check that the bbstored and bbackupd daemons are running, and to the extent possible, that they are healthy. They can be downloaded from here, and the project web site is here.
