No-brainer backup from Linux to space on remote drive?

[Ralph A. Mack]

Hi folks,

I just had to replace my backup drive for my main development system here at the house and I replaced it with a 2 TB WD network drive. Now that all my systems can see it, I'd like to do reasonable backups for all the systems, including my Linux boxes. (With 2 TB, I'm not too concerned about running out of space. :) ) 

I don't want to take a lot of time studying the problem or fiddling with a lot of options. I'd rather do my creative stuff than spend my life doing IT. (I switched from Gentoo to Ubuntu for a reason. :) ) Backup for me is a practical necessity rather than a life project, so I want something that just works, errs on the side of caution, doesn't require continuing attention and maintenance, etc. So I turned on Time Machine from my Mac. What can I use that will provide comparable simplicity for my Linux boxes? Do any of them also have a reasonable Windows port? (My witless Atom netbook is running Windows 7 Essentials and my Mac has a bootcamp partition...)
