I think everyone thinks this is a trivial problem which can be solved with the standard tools (and to *some* extent it is, but that's like saying all text processing problems can be handled by awk and sed and there was no need for Larry Wall to worry his head about perl), so everyone tries to scrape their own half-arsed solution together and nobody does it very well.
I think duplicity will be awfully useful in our house, since almost every paycheque we end up getting some new kind of backup thing and none of them work very well.
