If you have a server that doesn't run Windows, and want automatic off-site backups, then I recommend Box Backup:
http://bbdev.fluffy.co.uk/trac/wiki Secure, encrypted, incremental backups to a remote location. Keeps old and deleted versions of files (until the store is full, in which case it starts removing the oldest 'old versions'), can run continuously and is very bandwidth efficient. The big advantage is that the server can be untrusted - it cannot decrypt the backups it holds as the clients keep the keys and encrypt the traffic before uploading. Perfect for backing up to a friends house or another server you can't trust. It's saved my bacon a few times over the last couple of years. And it's free and open source. Note that although the server can't be Windows-based, clients can be. One server can also keep separate backup stores for any number of clients.
