Hrm, I use rsync when I do my backups in a similar situation. I just 
use an attached USB drive to house my files. For another physically 
attached disk, you can use the partition instead of a loopback file.
Here's my alias to backup my home directory:
alias epback='cd ${HOME}; rsync -av --delete --inplace . /mnt/backup/ep/; cd ${OLDPWD}'
Or sfs, in which case even the traffic to the server is encrypted!

True. Although when using this solution in the corporate (M$) 
environment usually proves futile. Usually you are at the mercy of Bill 
Gates and have to get around it.
For the people who need to access a fileserver I have at work from their 
windows laptops, I have them mount the samba shares over an ssh pipe. 
This gives them the network privacy that they want without having to do 
too many extra steps.
Haven't played with SFS, but I intend to. Thanks for the great 
reference.
