Would BackupPC work for you? It's open source, so cost is not an
issue. It can do backups without requiring any software to be installed
on the backup client (using smb for Windows and rsync for Linux/Mac/UNIX).

To the Members,
I have several Windows based systems still operating and I will be
introducing Virtual based systems and also Linux based systems into my
needs for protecting them. The Windows systems versions are Win2k
SP4, Windows 3.1.1 w/Dos 6.2, Windows XP SP3, Vista SP1, and Win7 no
SP yet.
I will be adding VMWare 4.5, 7.1, and 8 to the mix on one or more of
the systems. I will also be using one or more of the Linux
distributions primarily as a Host on one or two system. Currently the
Windows Win2k, Dos 6.2/Win 3.1.1, and Win 7 systems are independent
free-standing systems.
I was considering a Publisher like Acronis because they have product
that can run on the mentioned operating systems, but if you are a
private user they want you on their current released product only,
pretty much.
Their current product, like most publishers do not handle the older
versions of any operating system, but if you had their product back in
the day. Their newest and most current software will work with the
created backup sets from the older version of their products.
Then there is the aspect of buying their product that covers
Linux/Unix. You would have to buy their commercial product if you
wanted to stay with this single publisher. This price is not on par
to a private customer costs (i.e. $ 50.00 it is more like $ 500.00).
So I am asking my fellow members if you can make any reasonable
suggestions for my current need. If you need more info., just ask.
I will say, Thank You ! now for anyone's assistance in my concern.
Sincerely,
Harvey Rothenberg
