Hello Dave, May I suggest that you try rsync for this? 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!
