You might like backuppc (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/) for a backup
system that will let individual machine 'owners' browse/restore their
own backups while using compression and linking all duplicate files to
use much less disk space than you'd expect. There's some tradeoff in
speed compared to straight rsync and it needs more CPU, but the disk
savings and ease of use might be worth it.
