Not necessarily what you're after (may be a little excessive for your tastes), but I'd recommend Bacula (www.bacula.org). Failing that, perhaps a script to zip the files on the Win box then copy it to a Samba share on the FreeBSD box? Or mount a Windows share containing the files to be backed up on the FreeBSD box and bzip2 / gzip them to a file on the FreeBSD machine.
