However, I guess that, with a manual installation and a considerable amount of tweaking, you could make it work that way (even though the docs list apache as a prerequisite). However, consider that, without the web interface, you lose the ability to browse through the backups and start backups and restores in a very simple way. While backups and restores can still be started running the appropriate scripts from the command line, restoring selected files or directories and (most impostant) browsing existing backups becomes nearly impossible, since the data is saved in a format quite difficult to interpret with a normal file manager or using command line tools (ls, find, etc.). -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
