SOHO Backup Solution?

[Amichai Rotman]

Hi All,

I am looking for a backup solution for a SOHO. Here is the scenario:


   - 10 users in a LAN running Windows XP (Some Professional, some Home
   editions).
   - 1 Windows 2003 Server set as a Workgroup (no Active Directory)
   - 1 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Zimbra Mail Server.
   - 1 External 1TB USB Hard Disk connected to the Windows Server.


Users write their documents to a folder hierarchy on the Windows Server -
each user to their respective sub-folder under that hierarchy.

What I want to do:


   - Mount that hierarchy on the Zimbra Server using CIFS.
   - Move the external hard disk to Linux Server.
   - Backup the folder hierarchy to the external drive on a regular basis.


What I need:


   - A backup solution with the following features:
   - Schedule a full backup once a month.
   - Schedule an incremental backup every day.
   - Allow the Managers to follow the backup status from their Windows
   machines - either by a Web Interface r a Windows XP client.
   - Go back to a specific version of the file (similar to rdiff)
   - Easy to use front end.


Any of you know of an existing free product?

Thanks!
