I use backintime - it uses rsync to actually make the backups, so it's
easy to traverse the backup tree and restore a specific version of a
file that you want. It has frontends for Qt and GTK, and sets up cron
jobs for automated backups. YMMV, I like it.

I'm pretty sure Kodi (used to be called XBMC) can play from DLNA
sources, although I simply export via NFS now. It's a great client
with a ton of functionality, and it can also act as a DLNA server. You
can also set up a shared MySQL database so that all metadata is shared
between several clients.

Kodi isn't in the Jessie repos, but XBMC is. If you want a newer
version, check kodi.tv.
