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.
