Not a 100% answer to your specific criteria, but some may be close 
enough.  I highly recommend the book, it tries to address all of the 
backup related issues and questions you mentioned.

Windows (<=2G free):	http://mozy.com/
Linux:			http://rsync.net/

Pull for both Windows and Linux, no FTP but if you can arrange to pull 
from the place you'd have ftp'd to, maybe...  Web GUI for many but not 
all tasks, depending on the version you're using.

Microsoft has single-handedly nullified Moore's Law.
Innate design flaws of Windows make a personal firewall, anti-virus
and anti-malware software mandatory. The resulting software arms race
has effectively flattened Moore's Law on hardware running Windows.
