Take a look at Retrospect.  At least, take a look if you decide to stay on
some Windows flavor.  I use it to back up my network and it has been bullet
proof so far.  It can even do real-time differentials (if you buy that
feature).  It supports backing up from multiple network sources to multiple
local and network resources.  It will even do multiple, differential backup
images.  It also isn't very expensive.  $75 when I bought it.
