Found this little gem, maybe there's some interest in it.

http://web.synametrics.com/Syncrify.htm

Syncrify is fast, incremental, and cloud-ready backup that implements the rsync protocol over HTTP.

* Key Features
-Backup over HTTP - Backup and restores are done using the HTTP protocol.
-Uses Rsync - Files are copied using Rsync algorithm.
-Multi-platform - Syncrify can be installed on any operating system including MS Windows, Linux, Mac OSX and UNIX
-Backup over the Internet - Backup files from any computer across the Internet
-Cloud Ready - Power your private cloud using Syncrify. If you are an enterprise looking for a comprehensive, cost effective data protection platform, consider Syncrify to create a private cloud.
-Free - Syncrify is absolutely free for personal use

* How does it work?
-You install Syncrify Server on any machine of your choice with plenty of hard-drive space. This machine can be located anywhere on the Internet.
-Using your web-browser you, the administrator, create multiple user accounts.
-You then install Syncrify Client on a machine that you want to backup. Run this client, decide the files you want to backup and schedule as task to run it.
-Individual users can connect to the Syncrify Server using their web browser to view backed files as well as download/restore any file when they need it.

What's good about it, that's it's easy with gui, and free for one user!

Although I had a look at a few before posting, I didn't find a easy way until Syncrify, but it lacks some options. Will definitely check those links out. Thanks!
