Actually it is not really necessary to create a new one, because there already is a pretty good solution for incremental harddrive backup: Dirvish: http://www.dirvish.org/.
It allows you to create configurations and have regular incremental backups with easy recovery of arbitrary previous states.
It uses pre-known techniques such as rsync and hard links.
A research group from RWTH Aachen University has also created a content-based image retrieval system called FIRE which looks pretty good. The system is available under the terms of the GPL, too and is easily extended. A demo is available here .
Hey, I really got an appartment of that type. It is kind of a student flat and the people in the house have built up a network infrastructure (100Mbit) and we are connected to the world over the University like most of the other student dorms in our city.

We realized the same idea for images. Take the results from Google Image Search and rearrange them using methods from computer vision.
An article about this is available here: Clustering visually similar images to improve image search engines .
