I use Rsync to do this very thing.  The only requirement you have, that I am
missing, is that the user of the workstation to be backed up has no say in
what gets backed up.

Check out the following documents:
http://www.gaztronics.net/rsync.php
http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/nt.html - Shows how to setup Rsync as a
service on the NT machine, but I prefer to use the cygwin utilities to do
this.

Subject: Backup server with Windows Clients

I'm wanting to set my Debian machine to backup the data from our other
Windows PC's in the office.  I was thinking this would best be done with a
client on the windows pcs that selects the files to backup and then on a
schedule it archives and uploads the files to the linux.  Has anyone
successfully set up something that is similar.  What's out there that can do
this?


Thanks,

Marion
