I use rsync through a script on my Linux boxes (through a NFS share) and Create Synchronicity
(http://synchronicity.sourceforge.net/) on my Windows box (through a Samba share).
On some of my Linux boxes the script runs when I logout/shutdown (via ~/.kde4/shutdown) and others I
use cron to start the script.
On Windows, I have to manually initiate the backup in Create Synchronicity. There may be a way to
schedule it, just haven't bothered to look into it.
I have a DLink DNS-323 NAS with NFS support. I have been using this setup for a couple of years
without any problems.
HTH,
Alvin
