If the machines are windows 7, I would create a system image with the
builtin backup software. You can save these images on the network and
use bacula to make a backup of these. Only problem is this makes a
snapshot of the entire C: (or system drive) so I now try to partition
so that C: is 100 to 200 GB and separate OS from data.
