I currently back up incrementally by copying to an older Pentium system 
which otherwise acts as a file/print server.  In addition, I use the MS 
briefcase feature in Windows to copy important stuff (eg source code) 
to my laptop, and this is really easy to do on a directory basis.  It 
also has the advantage of allowing me to simply pick up the laptop and 
go in a morning when I'm going on-site.

Otherwise, why not use the simple system of one floppy for each day of 
the week; on Friday night, you simply do a full backup to tape or a new 
CD of all your data (you don't need to back up the programs because you 
have legal copies of the original software - you do, don't you?).
