Question Backup solution for 4 computers

Hello,

I need some backup solution that can work smoothly across the network, between four different computers.
  • It would nicer to have 'versions' or dated archived of a file rather than just 'one' backup version.
  • Incremental/delta backups are more preferable
  • Backups are on every machine so there are four copies of my backed up files.
  • It needs to work over network

I've looked at the following but haven't actually tried them for my problem.
  • DeltaCopy (rynsc for Windows) looks good but I'm not sure how it could work between four computers rather than just two.
  • BuddyBackup it crashed on Vista

How does everybody else solve this problem?

You can create your very own backup environment using robocopy. It is a command line program(included w/ windows servers) that you can get for free. It has so many options that you can make it do just about anything.
For my solution, I looked through many different backup utilities but none ever had everything. Now, I wrote a simple(less than 20 lines) bacth job to run robocopy on the folders I want every day.
