If you have the disk space for a complete disk mirror onto a desktop you could rsync all OS'es on Linux(/Solaris?) bootup and backup the mirrored data. If you are guarenteed to bee on the network at dump time (with any OS) you could choose Samba (with ext2 and Solaris drivers for NT) as the lowest common denominator and fiddle with DFS (Microsoft Distributed File System) to get a common share structure with all OS'es.
