For Linux, I have a custom script that uses either NFS or SSH to rsync
files to a remote server. For Windows, I use Karen's Replicator
(freeware - google for it), which works like rsync to a remote file
server. In my case, that remote server is a Linux box running ssh, nfs,
and samba.
The good: Easy to use; easy to set up; easy to restore; free.
The bad: No point-in-time restores; no versioned backups.
Cheers.
