John, I would definitely take another look at BackupPC if you are backing up to disk. I am using it to backup around 1800 machines totaling close to 14TB of data. It just plain works. There is a pretty easy install for windows now using DeltaCopy. You do need a *nix server, but the clients can be anything.
