For windows cwrsync works fine as client for Windows XP. It's rather easy to setup and can be triggered by the windows machine since it runs as a .bat or .cmd. For FreeBSD rsync is in ports. With some nifty scripting you can setup the FreeBSD side to rotate the backups. There is a very good starting point for this at http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ . Good luck!
