Build yourself an iDisk locally on your server! Use Backup.app to back up your Mac systems to your own file server. See the detailed Solo .Mac article here.
Ed. Note: While the article walks you through doing this on a FreeBSD box, the methodology will help you to do this on your own server. The biggest sticking point is the DNS, since you’ll need to co-opt the iDisk DNS records. The article has you just stomp on the entire apple.com domain, which is probably a bit ham-fisted. Instead just create a host record in /etc/hosts for the specific address that you want.

Heavily commented, you can download the script and take a look to see if it can help you shave steps off of your rollout.
You can download it here.
