I've done a bit of work in that area, using both Ruby on Rails and
Ruby by its self.  I've used the Rails framework to develop Bacuview,
a Bacula status monitor which provides a web-based view into the
status of a Bacula backup system, with pages provided to display the
status of the jobs, the clients, the media, and the pools in the
system.  For details, see:

    http://bacuview.rubyforge.org/

Using ruby on its own, I've developed Bacuwatch, a program used to
keep a watch on a group of Bacula jobs.  Typically, it is run from a
cron job, and is configured to send an email message with a single
line status report on each backup job to the Bacula administrator and
optionally to send a more detailed report on each job to the user of
the machine which that job backs up.
