I suspect (hope) that a db backend will be an option, not a requirement.

The real difficulty with the web interface is that it's not fully abstracted from the service.  Many of the components are generated within the C code.  I seem to recall some effort around assisting with abstracting that layer.  Reports can be created and added via shell scripts or other methods (I seem to recall a very nice PDF generation report making the rounds recently).
