I'm way to lazy for those kinds of changes.  I'd probably just do a 
cron-scheduled dump of the web pages into a samba-shared directory with 
something like
'curl 
http://user:password@backuppc_server/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=summary 
 > summary.html'
so some other user could browse the files - or email them as attachments 
to users that couldn't access them directly.
