off site data backup

[who]

hi,

I am setting up a server to handle some off site data backup for some companies i do business with. I have the server my question is what are some good software to use to send incramental backups every 2 weeks? I am going to do a base image and then want to backup the files automatically every 2 weeks.

rsync - linux
robocopy - windows
or if you have a lot of windows hosts DFSR (distributed filesystem replication)

i like these options. I am setting this up on some client PCs and want this to run when they are not there at night. want to set it like a virus scanner

if using robocopy, run robocopy /?
make sure to set sane options, i think the default is to retry 1,000,000 times if it fails due to a network error
