Awesome, thank you. I've tweaked the default files so they're actually generic
and stuffed my private configuration files into an ignored directory.

It will, and I suppose I should document that clearly in the readme. Just run
bpcviz-generate with the desired flags and redirect it to a file, then change
your plot file to replace "command: <script>" with "pathname: <filename>".
But that limits your data... it's not quite "raw" anymore, because it's been
filtered and sorted. What I do is pull a working copy of the raw data with...
cd /var/lib/backuppc
tar cfz pc.tgz pc/*/backups
And scp that file to my workstation and unpack it. It maintains the directory
structure, but captures only the 'backups' files.

I might have to get fancier with it for that to happen.
