Trent for this scenario backuppc is what you want.
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/info.html
is not an imaging solution though - for that you will need to pay money.
For about 1-2K acronis true image enterprise server does what you want
and more - live imaging to central server, without shutting down the
windows machine. There are free imaging solutions, but they all require
shutting down the PC

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a backup solution that can be run centrally from a
linux box and can also backup windows boxes on a LAN
Apart from performing basic incremental data backups it will also need
to be
able to perform disk imaging over the wire (e.g disk images of windows
boxes
to be stored on the linux server to prevent me from having to
reinstall XP
and every other application known to man when disks fail)
Compression is also a must have.
Thanks again for your thoughts and suggestions! =)
