I started working on something like this a while back:
http://code.google.com/p/brackuptargetserver/

However, in the end I just made everything backup to Amazon S3, since 
with my data it ended up not being that expensive to sometimes re-upload 
the same thing once for each host. (I was backing up lots of small 
config files that generally weren't the same from host to host anyway; 
the files that were the same were in my svn repo, so I just backed that up.)

I don't really remember what state that code is in, but if you or 
someone else would like to work on it I'm happy to give commit access.
