The ability to encrypt backups is also a must have feature.

With regard to encrypting backups - I've recently discovered rysncrypto.

If you were going to go down the rysnc route, you should definitely build in the option to use rsyncrypto to encrypt backups. It works extremely well.

From the man page:
rsyncrypto is a utility that encrypts a file (or a directory structure) in a way that ensures that local changes to the plain text file will result in local changes to the cipher text file. This, in turn, ensures that doing rsync to synchronize the encrypted files to another machine will have only a small impact on rsync's efficiency.
