Firstly, apologies if feature requests are not intended to be  
submitted here, I couldn't find information on the web site specifying  
another way.

I'd just like to make two feature requests:
1. I have manually configured BackupPC to wake machines up using  
"wakeonlan". It would be fantastic if the ability to call wakeonlan  
was indeed built into BackupPC. The ideal situation would be to: try  
and ping machine, if ping fails send magic packet and wait X seconds  
before trying to ping the machine again. Even better, would be if  
BackupPC could remember if the machine was woken up and optionally run  
a user specifiable script on the client machine at the end of backup  
(e.g. to send the machine back to sleep if it was woken up to perform  
the backup).

2. It would be fantastic if when browsing backups, there was an option  
to run "du" on a branch of the backup to list the size of sub- 
directories in the backup. Naturally this would need to be done ad-hoc  
due to the cost of running du.

Regards to all developers for a fantastic product.
