OT, but why would you be storing data on workstations in the first place? I
wouldn't - treat them as interchangeable terminals, and keep all your data
on the server. Do backups from there.
If you must do workstation backups, get a third party backup app such as
Veritas BackupExec that has client agents. But I wouldn't bother - it's
slow, unreliable, and I don't see the point of it. If you use roaming
profiles, folder redirection, and users log out at night, you can easily
back up everything from the server, on the server.
