HP's Data Protector is reasonably well designed on a very basic level.
More interesting/difficult functionality is very poorly designed, but at
far as interface goes, it works reasonably well.
What they did was to include several different trees on the left side
for each category of object. Clicking on the category name (ie. media)
would do the equivalent of list pools in the right pane. Clicking on a
pool would do the equivalent of a more brief form list media pool=blah,
and clicking on a volume would show all of the info on the volume (ie. a
slightly more detailed view of list media, but with only the tape in
question).
The same was done when delving into schedules. Filesets were lumped into
schedules, however, there was a template section that could be about the
same.
Hope this helps. I could take screenshots, but I think the concept
should suffice.

Hi people!
I'm trying to contribute to the bacula project by making a graphical
user interface, and I would like to ask you if you have any example of a
well designed user interface for a backup software, so that I can get
some ideas from it. If you can make some screenshots, they'll be very
welcome!
Best regards,
