I understand now. You would have to edit the CGI scripts and the page to do
this with the CGI interface BUT you could install cygwin's ssh client and
give your users an icon to do their backups. the icon would run a shell
script via ssh like so
ssh serverhostname "su backuppc -c '/path/to/BackupPC_serverMesg backup
> HOSTIP HOSTNAME USERNAME LEVEL"
and an example is
> ssh backuppc_server "su backuppc -c
> '/usr/share/backuppc/BackupPC_serverMesg backup t1 t1 myuser 0
which is an incremental backup of the machine 't1' which is also the
nmblookup resolvable hostname 't1' and the user initiating the backup is
'myuser' the 0 is the incremental while 1 is a full backup.
they would need to enter a password for backuppc unless you exchanged ssh
keys for passwordless logins to backuppc.
