Interesting offer. Personally, I use rdiff-backup which is based on
python and you can easily run it over ssh. I've been doing this between
boxes here and in Florida for almost a year now and it has come in handy
once or twice. Once you get the backup-your-stuff bug, it becomes
addicting.
As for the privacy issue, that's a sticky one. I'm not sure if you can
encrypt a folder, but I know you can encrypt a partition. Perhaps if
you had a separate partition that was all encrypted, it'd be a bit more
secure for the client who's uploading their junk for backup purposes.
