[newbie] Backup options

[Eric Mings]

I would like to be able to use a backup program to backup some files to a 
harddrive in a directory on another computer on my network. Seems to  me, 
from what I have looked at, that the two main commercial backup programs 
are focused towards tape drives. Could someone tell me what my best 
option might be for this usage (Preferably cheap or free :-) .  I am used 
to Retrospect on the Mac that can backup to damn near anything with ease. 
Thanks!
