Answer
Integration for OSX systems is extremely fast and simple because OSX is built on an underlying Unix system. Therefore, implementation is as simple as adding a few rsync lines to your crontab or launchd. There is no need to install any software or make any configuration changes. Setting up powerful, efficient backups on your OSX system is literally a five-minute operation.
As for browsing and interacting with those backups once they are on our end, you can simply browse the offsite filesystem from the Finder, and interact with your offsite data just like you would on any local hard drive.
