- Are you backing up just your own laptop, or should the setup accommodate
multiple machines?

seems to me that the first is a subset of the latter

- Is it a priority to keep the client script simple?

it would be nice but hiding complexity behind a good ui is ok too.

- Does the backup server need to be robust against malicious clients?

some.  authentication and confidentiality as provided by ssh should be a good
baseline.  I'd love for the remote backup to be encrypted locally so one could
backup to a hostile host.  M of N splitting would be a dream.

- Should the data be encrypted as it passes over the network?

yes.  ssh would be fine

I would love it if we were not dependent on cygwin (full install) but had something completely stand alone.
