As you can see, I already mentioning "duply" nearly everywhere :)
So it's no problem to change copyrigths as you suggesting. I'll fix 
this.

The html-report was developed for the practical case.
When one is supporting a few stand-alone servers (possible from 
different
customers) it becomes hard to visually process the raw logs, coming 
from
different sources.
The visual-friendly reports are helpful if you really wish to read the
reports daily and sometimes to analyze not only the failing conditions, 
but
also the warnings, the size and the time inconsistenses.

the duply version from Debian stable was taken as the base.
