Exactly, perhaps the a better (but more work involved) solution would
be to create a new page which shows a nice pretty graph of the various
numbers instead of stacks of numbers in great big tables...
In fact, I've got one installation og backuppc which now has over 800
backups of each host, and it can take quite a while to view the host
pages. As time goes on, and the number of backups increases, this will
just get worse, again, it would be nice to simply have a few graphs
(or a limit to the number of backups displayed (maybe last 20 backups
etc).
However, while we can all make suggestions of improvements, if we
cared enough we would provide a patch, and if other people cared
enough, it would be included into backuppc..... I don't have the time,
and I don't care enough about the above, and so I haven't *done*
anything about it.
So thanks for a great product, it is good enough for me to not need to
put loads of work into it, and I can just use it to do useful things.
Regards,
Adam
