For individual users it looks as if Windows 7 comes with some pretty 
reasonable MS backup software (try googling windows 7 backup); it can do 
scheduled backups to network shares too. Vista also had similar 
capability, but much less flexible. Windows XP's built-in backup is 
pretty useless, but there are many other choices. Rdiff-backup is the 
engine behind TimeDicer, http://www.timedicer.info/, a script 
specifically aimed at Windows XP backups to a Linux machine.
