Hi, I am using rsnapshot to do daily network backups of both XP and *nix machines. It uses rsync and has an option for ssh if you backup across the internet.

It is pretty easy to set up, and installs on 6.0.1 with no dependancies.

There are others - Unison, R-diff etc.

I use dungog rsync (http://dungog.net/sme/help/SMEhelp/panels/Rsync%20config.html) to backup two remote (e-smith) sites to my home e-smith box. Just schedule both backups to be done prior to midnight then at midnight my local box dumps the whole lot to tape. The beauty of rsync is once you've done the initial backup, which in my case was 2GB, and had to be done manually because of my ISP's download limit you only actually copy the data that has changed each day ie e-mail etc. It's commercial but only costs around $33US but is well worth the money. It sounds exactly like what you're looking for.
