thanks Dmitry, although i'd call it a fork rather than a _new_ frontend ;)

i see you added your copyright at the top. as most of the code is still based 
on duply i'd prefer you to mention me and christiane close to there. this way 
it couldn't happen like in your readme file
https://github.com/skycover/scduply
that these contributions go awol.

thanks again. html-reports might be an option, but there has to be significant 
user demand before i'd take that over.

you might want to consider though to port sone of the bugfixes from the current 
duply as your version is based on a one year old version.

btw. any reason why you do not use fetch command but instead a restore 
--file-to-restore combination on
