Default Re: Linux Software: Backup Solutions

Hm. I've always used a samba server and just had the rest of my family (6 computers in the house... I know, I know) just \\192.168.x.x, log in with their username, and copy/paste stuff to my shared hard drive. Then I'd rsync that shared drive to a 2nd drive, for redundancy reasons.

Out of the following options, is there anything that would automatically synchronize their "my documents" folder to my shared drive? Or would my current setup of samba+rsync(to two drives) be the most efficient way?

Note - My computer is Hardy Heron 64 bit. Everybody else's is Windows XP Professional SP2/3.
