For a small site (no more than a few servers) NTBackup is plenty adequate. Schedule NTBackup to run nightly and back up to a workstation's hard disk via a share (assuming you have a workstation with a large enough drive[1]).
If you want to get fancy, you can write a batch file to drive NTBackup, grep through the log file for errors, and email a report. I can give you an example script if you like.
