I'm not readily aware of any decently priced application that will do what you want. As soon as you say things like "network backup" you start getting into the higher-priced commercial applications, and AFAIK there aren't any that will work on XP Home. My personal advice is to ditch XP Home and go back to 2000 or get XP Pro, then use the backup utilities that come with them... just remember, under Windows doing full backups is rarely useful - restoring a complete system from a backup is a touchy operation and doesn't always succeed - actually, it hardly ever does. You are far better off creating a shared drive on one of the systems, making sure all useful information goes there, and backing up those shares. I have system policies on my home network to ensure this happens, but policies aren't required if you just pay attention.
