I can (vehemently) second the Bacula recommendation for traditional archive-style backups. My reading of the OP's requirements seemed more along the lines of managing edits of the same files on multiple machines, with the possibility of rolling back to an older version if necessary. If I misread this and he's looking more for data preservation, I know of no more intuitive, self-managed, flexible backup system than Bacula. -HKS
