Ok Wannabe network admins... here's a simple challenge, that needs a painfully simple solution that can be administered in 30 minutes without changing too much.
I have 5 systems in the home
(a) Windows 2003 Server (Main Fileserver)
(b) Windows XP Desktop Machine
(c) Windows XP "Audio PC"
(d) Windows Vista Notebook computer. (GF's Work)
(e) Windows XP Notebook - (My Work)
I want to set up the systems to incrementally back up certain directories from each machine to the PC. (e.g. like "my documents" etc)
I am not running a "domain" in any way, there is no active directory.
So -- please.. something
-quick (so I can spend my precious time doing something else)
-easy (see above)
-reliable (i don't want to be traveling and get a phone call saying "the computers doing something weird!!! this is your fault!")
Cheers
/R
