Mabumbi backup

What works so far...

...that the daemon detects when the harddrive is connected.
...the daemon can start backups in regular intervalls (if the drive is available)
...the system tray shows HDD-connection status and backup-running/idle status
...the system tray can start a backup right away
...the system tray can open the backup directory(s)

Todo

Quite a lot like...

automatic mounting of the USB-disk
show more information in the main application
alarm when your last backup was done more than 30 days ago
installation/packaging of the software
the daemon's GUI-configuration
storeBackup GUI-configuration
recovery GUI (navigate through time)
create a logo
improve the artwork
improve the homepage
move code to sourceforge/google code/...
...

In the long term

backup via network should be supported too (to a NAS for example - like Time Capsule)
Integrate into dolphin, konqueror
a GNOME-GUI
...

What Mabumbi does not do

Mabumbi does no complete system backup. It would be nice to advance Mabumbi to use it as a complete system recovery. But at first it's only important to save what matters to the user - save it's data. The rest is out of my scope.
