How about setting up rsync server on every box, acting as backup-point, and then using BackupPC[1] (or any other rsync-based backup solution). - From the point of view of security, you can only allow connections to rsync servers only from backup machine. For Windows, there is an rsync server port, named cwRsync[2] (based on cygwin).
