I can see a desire for the small installations to want a 'one size fits all' backup and monitoring product. BackupPC does most of what is needed pretty well. I would like just a simple 'red light'/'yellow light'/'green light' - backup did not start (red), backup had problems but backed up some files (yellow), and (green) if everything completed without incident. ... But that is MY perspective. And yes, then I would complain tha I couldn't click on the 'light' and see the log files :) But if something like that would be put in, I think it should be put in so as to replace a small 'module' with hooks to another appropriate monitoring package, so it can be EASILY extensible to whatever someone else might want at least from the BackupPC side.
