Hi. I am looking for a real time backup solution for my home network. I have 5 Win7 desktops at home. I rigged up a 6th desktop with Win7 Ultimate x64 as a file/backup server. I would like to install a backup software on it so that it can continuously backup from other 5 desktops. I prefer not to install any backup software on the client side. Is there such a solution? Thanks.

I see, so what I am looking for is actually a solution that will pull data from remote clients?

robocopy would be a good way. It will accept network paths for source and destination. You have 5 sources and one destination I would write one script copy it 5 times and change the source network path for each computer. I would then have task scheduler run one of these scripts everyday M-F. As long as everything is networked your good to go.
