I just released version 2.0.0beta0 of BackupPC on SourceForge, see http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
What is BackupPC? It is an enterprise-grade open-source package for backing up WinXX and *nix systems to disk. It supports transport via SMB, tar and now rsync over rsh/ssh and rsyncd. The backend features hard-linking of any identical files (not just files with the same name) and compression, giving a 6x to 10x reduction in disk storage. It also has a comprehensive web (CGI) interface. The rsync support in BackupPC is based on File::RsyncP, a perl rsync client; see http://perlrsync.sourceforge.net. A future version of BackupPC will also support block and file checksum caching for additional performance.
