So is backuppc (plus it can also use use tar, smb, or ftp to collect the files).

Backuppc can compress the files and also pools all duplicate content with 
hardlinks even if found on different machines.  And it provides a nice web 
interface to browse and restore backups either by downloading through the 
browser or copying back to the source machine.  The web interface can restrict 
the view of a user to only certain machines so users can do their own restores 
and control the configuration for their own machines.
