One could perhaps extend the color coding that currently exists for the host
status page. I certainly would like to see a color indication for hosts that
haven't been backed up recently (but have not had an error... perhaps the
backup server was too busy to get to them).

I suggest that a simple way to do this would be to keep the light green
color for hosts that have been backed up within $Conf{IncrPeriod} (instead
of just hosts which have been backed up within the past 0.1 day (or is it
0.1*$Conf{IncrPeriod}?), which is of limited usefulness. If they
go to white; then we know they're overdue for a backup but no other error
has occurred.
