Adding Amazon S3 integration is a good way of adding limitless storage to Bubba. The S3 store could be exposed via the file server transparently.
JungleDisk is a good example of an app that lets users treat S3 as a disk with limitless space.
It also provides the facility for a user to select which folders should be backed up to S3.

JungleDisk already supports Linux, so there's a good chance you could get this to work anyway if you buy it, but anyway...
Starting from the top:
S3 is Amazon's "Simple Storage Service". It is a very simple file store that uses a REST protocol to upload and retrieve files.
After a user signs up for S3, they enter their S3 account and secret key into Bubba, and select a bucket for Bubba to use.
There are numerous libraries that facilitate the use of S3:

In particular, projects like s3fs:

Allow the mounting of S3 buckets as block devices, meaning Bubba could easily mount and use an S3 bucket for storage. Once the module is installed, it would appear no different than adding a second hard disk drive.
