Guys

We're looking at utilising BackupPC as a platform on which to host 
backups of our customer sites, providing those customers with a level of 
self-management.

Two things are necessary to achieve this;
1. Each restore action should notify our accounts dep't so that 
excessive numbers of restores can be invoiced to the customer.
2. Excessively large individual restores should be halted prior to going 
over our metered Internet link. Instead an email should be sent to our 
backup-admin (and to the customer) so that a CD/DVD can be burned (or 
USB-HDD, whatever) and couriered to the customer.

Presumably BackupPC doesn't currently do this but how feasible would it 
be to build this in (or create a plug-in)?

We've got perl developers here who are probably capable of coding this 
but we may instead consider funding a developer who is experienced in 
the BackupPC codebase.

cheers!
Ron
