If you truly want to snapshot your current data on a weekly/monthly/yearly basis, the current-release recommended solution would be "generate backupset" -- which, at least, avoids re-sending the data across the LAN. Alternatively, Unix has image backup capability, and 5.1 will have it for Win2K. Either way, you get a consolidated copy of current data residing on the associated client file systems.
You should, however, consider the challenges posed by Petur, since they *may* be more pertinent than achieving the technical response you requested.
