Have you thought of using subversion as a home-directory-backup
mechanism? I use it like that and to synchronize across
computers. Works great.

Of course the best/simplest/easiest backup system is being released
today, but it costs money and runs on a very small subset of
computers. It will change the way _some_ people do their personal
backups, I am sure.

I used to use backupPC. Works great, incremental backups, it waits
until the computer connects to the network to backup. But it is a pain
to administer. I stop using it since I upgraded my linux box.
