lol i thought of that, want it to be a daily automated task, dvd too small

Reciprocal backups to shared folders on each machine?

If you have BW to burn and you want offsite and automated you could then consider something like Jungledisk http://www.jungledisk.com/ or build your own S3 solution.

Why don't u use an external hard disk drive to do daily incremental backups. Seagate External drives used te be bundled with software called BounceBack...

I use it and its doing the backups daily to another drive unattended...

Try Cobian Backup - It is free and works well

what happens if that seagate hdd, decides to say chow?

SyncToy from M$ website?

I use Cobian for my scheduled backups, but its a bit higher grade for some users

Syncback free is very easy to use and works very well.

BTW, both of the above are free, try them first

either backup to each PC, a large 16GB flashdrive, a 250-320GB portable USB drive, or a 500-1000GB Nas drive as media

You want to back up the entire drive or just the data? What sizes we talking here?

I use synctoy on system scheduler with a external esata HDD to back up files - acronis for complete images of hdd.

This works very well, and it's free. I use this solution at many of my clients. Use it to back-up to a ext USB drive, and you can use from as many pc's as you want.
