we have just finished a version.
it still has some problems that will be sorted out in the coming weeks.
the web interface works really well now, and the gui schedules jobs, 
creates jobs, manages restores through the webinterface etc. pretty much 
similar interface to ntbackup, with some modifications. Its gots only a 
few bugs - the restoring relys on the web interface and some soap magic. 
You would either have to get the web interface off us as well (which 
would be fine) or add in a restore interface. Only problem is 
rdiff-backup on cygwin can't write back to windows atm. This is due to 
some bugs which I am confident can be resolved when Ben puts more time 
into it again.
If you want to call me on (australia) +61 0413 022 143 I would be happy 
to talk about it. We can arrange some licensing deal - the client we 
developed it for is interested in selling it off as well as using it for 
his own offsite backup business.
