I've got a solution that I've used to back up machines for my group, but never did the last 10% to make it something plug-and-play for other folks: https://github.com/pjd-nu/s3-backup
Full and incremental backups of a directory tree to S3 objects, one per backup, and access to existing backups via FUSE mount. With a bit more scripting (mostly automount) and maybe shifting some cached data from RAM to the local file system it should be fairly comparable to Apple Time Machine - not designed to restore your disk as much as to be able to access its contents at different points in time.
If you're interested in it, feel free to drop me a note - my email is in my Github profile I think.
