Have you looked at Unison? (http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/)

While it's designed to be a file sync tool (eg, to keep html files in
sync between different servers with a load balancer in front, etc.)
itseems to me it may work for "backup" purposes as well.

It works on Windows as well as various flavors of *nix, so may be a  good fit.
