The compression can be handled by Bacula. If you set up tunnels, that should handle the encryption part. Once you get used to the way Bacula works, it's fairly easy to use. You have a central machine that is the "director" and initiates and coordinates all of the backup jobs. You also have a "storage daemon" (which can be on the same machine as the "director" or another machine altogether) which stores all of the files. You can also have multiple storage daemons if you wish. And finally, you run a "file daemon" on every client you wish to backup. There are clients available for many different OSes. I use it to backup two FBSD boxes and 2 WinXP boxes to file volumes. Take a look and you might find it will meet most of your needs.
