Even better, use backuppc: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ which can use tar, smb, or rsync to perform the backups, then uses compression and hardlinking to eliminate duplication and keep about 10x the backup history that you'd expect in a given amount of space. Plus it provides a nice web interface to browse backups and restore files.
Another possibility is Bacula, which has native clients for other OS's that can back up their metadata. BackupPC only knows how to back up Linux metadata.
