Backuppc can back up all the machines on your network, keeping multiple copies on line with a clever scheme of compression and duplicate linking to keep much more (like 10x) than you'd expect on-line. It has a nice web interface to browse and restore and a concept of machine 'owners' so non-admin users can see only their own backups. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
