 I just stumbled upon BackupPC yesterday, so I amnot sure how good it can be
because I haven't had time to test, but nothing stops you from looking at
it, now that you are after a solution.
Please see http://backuppc.sourceforge.net

PS: If you do test it out, please come back and tell us what you feel about
it. I personally will appreciate the feedback, even if to my personal
address.
