[Pybackpack] Pybackpack development discontinued

[curtis osterhoudt]

Agreed! I used pybackpack for several years, to ease my rdiff-backup usage. 


Thanks for your work over time, Andrew. It is much appreciated.
                              Sincerely, 
                                          C.O.

Last I looked there were other GUIs for rdiff-backup which could also be used to restore files. Failing that, it is possible to restore the latest backup simply by copying the files from the backup location.
