Scott,

RSYNC!!!!!

For info:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync
Homepage:  http://rsync.samba.org/

Clients available for Win32 as well. This is an easy, tried-and-true method of backing up a workstation (or other servers) to a central server. RSYNC only copies over new/changed files, so you have a more efficient backup. You can also easily keep incremental backups.

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.
