The key is to use a disk drive as the destination, and to not use anything that compresses or in any way molests the files. You want to be able to have an "end user" type simple point, click and copy a backup file to whereever it needs to go without uncompressing or in any other way manipulate the "backup" before its useable.
Backuppc (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net) does compress, link and otherwise molest the files to to the tune of getting at least 5X more data on your backup drive (my real experience with a week's history of 25 machines online at once). However, it still presents a simple browsable point/click interface to restore files (or just download through the browser) and it has a concept of 'owners' for the different machines to control access through the web interface.
That's definetly worth a bookmark. Thank you.
