Submission + - Seamless backup - Are we there yet?

Recently, I've been learning about services like Dropbox and rdiff-backup. I think my customers would benefit from a seamless and automatic backup solution. But, as nice as Dropbox is, none of my customers will allow their content to be stored on someone elses server, period. I haven't used rdiff-backup enough to know if it could help me. What does the Slashdot community think? Is there a way to create a "Dropbox Server" or does anyone else know of a way to create a very user friendly and automatic means of backing up (with snapshots and disaster recovery), without resorting to buying macs for the Time machine?"
