Provide comfortably backup settings and status

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. To which tool/application/daemon will this feature apply?

the backup status (which backups are available for which server).

3. Describe the feature interface

4. Give an idea (if applicable) of a possible implementation

5. Describe pros and cons of this feature.

5a. Why the world will be a better place with this feature.

implemented.

Part of this issue will be fixed when we get JSON status output from trepctl 
(Issue 499).

We'll use 2.1.0 instead of 2.0.8, hence moving the issues.
