If it requires a staging area for the data to create the backup image file, it could be an issue. (I have 3GB to backup so I need at least 2GB space to create the image). This is based on 75% space for compressed data. This is why cds and dvd suck as backup media. You might also think about how to buffer the data stream.

That looks like it's done a good proportion of the hard backup work. What would be needed is the UI work so that it all happens seamlessly (it should never mention the word "gpg", for example) and some way of putting a central server into the equation for when both parties are behind firewalls (rather than the communication-by-email approach that it currently uses). the_angry_angel: yes.

This is why it said "It also asks how much space you’re prepared to devote to backups." in the initial spec :) mrben: yes.
