First off, great work!
Questions:
-Do the device comments need to be unique?
-Do the Job comments need to be unique? (what is the job unique id?)
-I have some "large" datasets here at work, if you want me to test anything
in particular let me know.
-what options are there for making the UI more drag and drop? Could a gnome
/ kde app be built that could be in addition to the web interface?

Suggestions:
-If possible add a hook into the hotplug subsystem so that if a device is
added while you are looking at the devices / files menu you don't have to
hit refresh?

-SMB as destinations might be nice if you could come up with a clever way to
do it?

-Add an option such that if a job is missed it runs at the next boot. For
running on desktop machines. Or, in case there was a clock jump and cron
missed.

-Handle extended attributes as well. --see man (1) attr --

-Add some way to do a onetime full system backup (including the boot area).
I'm not sure if there are already utilities that you could just source for
this?

-Add an option to create "virtual destinations" (loopback devices ) that
become cd isos and DVD isos that could then be burned.

-Some way to do incremental backups (like rdif?)

-Add some modularity so that people could add a database backup module. Or
any other custom app they wanted.

-make the programs like rsync and df etc, easy to custom configure.

-Add a way to do a gzip and archive (or tar / gzip) so that people can use
the same UI even if they have limited space.

There's what I've got so far.
