Hi.
I am hoping to find some advice to assist in fulfilling the following wish 
list.  The LAN is operating OK and supports both Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows 
(XP) clients.  My questions relate only to BackupPC within this framework.  
From research conducted it appears that some of the the wish list are standard 
features of BackupPC.  I am hoping that those which remain can be achieved by 
appropriate configuration.

SUMMARY of LAN
Primary Domain Controller Server
OS = Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server Edition
Samba = 3.0.28a
Share = home for each user
Share = allusers (common area for all members of users group)

BackupPC Server
OS = Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server Edition
BackupPc = 3.0.0 (obtained from Ubuntu repository)

WISH LIST
01 Users not required to initiate backups
02 Backup of each home and common area to be initiated from BackupPC Server via 
schedule
03 Users able to conduct restore via web interface
04 Each user able to access and restore only their own home backup
05 Every member of a common group able to access and restore a backup of a 
common share
06 Reliability of backup/restore higher priority than efficiency/speed
07 Ease of use by end user of higher priority than security
08 Ability for BackupPc administrative user to copy all backups to external 
(removable) disks

QUESTIONS
01 Is the wish list achievable using BackupPC?
02 Is anyone able to point to a 'how to' type guide to assist with this?
03 Has any member of the forum any advice on how best to configure BackupPC to 
meet the wish list?
04 Any suggestions of alternative FOSS products if BackupPC is not a suitable 
choice?
