Why would the backup have to be handled by the host? You can use whatever
technique BackupPC is using to pull the data, all from a central location
just like BackupPC.
If you were using rsync over ssh or rsyncd, it would be quite trivial to
create a system that looked just like BackupPC to the hosts but instead of
storing all files in a single pool and handling versioning, dedupe, etc.,
it simply dumped the files into the filesystem directly. If you're using
some other method (tar or smb, for example), it would still work (and
trivially), but would be very hard on bandwidth. If the data is being
moved over a WAN link, performance will be an issue. Stick with rsyncd or
rsync over ssh.
