Backup Software for an entire household

[Pho3nix]

Hi all,

Looking for a piece of software I can install on my PC but will pool backups from all the other PC's including my own in the home (specifically the C: drives) once a week.
Backups will be stored on a partition and will need to go back atleast 3 months.

Free solutions available? Or am I going to have to pay for something here?

I used Norton Ghost many moons ago... Not sure if it is even still around.

Use Crashplan (http://www.crashplan.com/consumer/crashplan.html)
To do what you want its free. If you want to backup online to their servers its paid for.

Windows Home Server 2011 has that function built in. Works pretty well if you have a server running it.
