Trac is a perfectly fine lightweight system to use and has a large
number of plugins you can use. An alternative I've seen mentioned but
never used personally is Redmine (http://www.redmine.org/) which is
Ruby powered and there is a GitHub clone you can host locally called
GitLab (http://gitlabhq.com/).

What I would suggest is that you try out using a VM to host all of
this and then run backups in the VM of your data and also backups of
the VM (using VirtualBox there are command line tools). If you can
avoid installing a GUI, then you will save gigabytes of space as well.
This way if you have a hardware failure, your important data is backed
up and you can restore to a new machine as quickly as copying the VM
image on and installing your virtualisation tool of choice (e.g.
VirtualBox).

Cheers,
