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.

Yes, unfortunately you have to choose between being able to keep much more history online with no need to install a client agent and being able to save windows metadata. Bacula also has better integration for tape archiving. Backuppc can write to tapes but it is sort of an afterthought.
