I've just this minute finished setting up something very similar at work.
I installed cygwin and now run backup as an rsync/cron job. It might be
overkill, but I've found that there are so many other reasons to have a bash
shell on Windows, and cron/rsync/ssh works a treat.

Windows has the archive bit built in. You could simply xcopy/robocopy any
files with the archive bit to a staging directory then ftp up that
eg:
*xcopy path:\to\Files\ path:\to\staging /m /e /v /c /y*
Then use your favourite scriptable ftp client to upload it, there are a few
out there, I think you can even use windows built in one, but I don't tend
to play with that.

ftp is the last resort, rsync is obviously a better one. Also, not
aware of good tools that would check the differences in directory
trees and update only the files that are different over ftp.

why not use ftp then?

Is there something not necessarily based on rsync? ftp, for example?

I use unison:

It claims to run on Windows, but I have no experience with that.
It does. I've used it on Ubuntu, Windows, OpenBSD, MacOS, and Solaris.
The biggest problem with Unison is that the protocol changes so
frequently that you may have difficulty finding precompiled versions
for your different operating systems which run compatible protocols.
It may be easier to compile from source, but then you'll need to have
ocaml compilers on the relevant machines...
