multi-platform?

It could be nice if you specify in the README which platforms hat should run on.

There's quite a long way in terms of functionality before hat can really be said to "run" anywhere, but I do see your point.

Preferably, it should eventually work on any sane Linux or BSD, along with Windows. It should support any simple replicating key-value store as backend, and it should be possible to feed it any sort of key-value based data to backup; currently only a file system scanner frontend is included, but eventually the code should be split into a more flexible library and the snapshotting backup tool (although the library is lower priority, as it doesn't serve an immediate need).
