I once did this for a small company I worked for!
I installed Datakeeper 5.0 (from PowerQuest) on each work station. This
little utility program can be set to monitor specific folders and copy the
files anywhere, specifically to a server (as I had it set up to do).
The specific folders are monitored in "real time". Whenever a file in the
monitored folder is changed, it is immediately copied over the LAN to the
server. I could choose to keep any number of iterations of files on the
server. I chose 3. If a file was ever deleted from a work station I was able
to choose any of the 3 files to restore to the work station.
There may be other programs like this around as PowerQuest is now owned by
Symantec and they have no mention of this utility on their web site.
BTW: I believe the program came with the Drive Image 5.01 update from the
PowerQuest web site.
