SO, what do you think is the best way of backing up my important data on 3 wirelessly networked PCs (and an IPAQ!)?

Three computers, A, B, C and I (for ipaq)

I->A->B->C->A

That way if the ipaq goes down, you've got a backup of it on A.
If A goes down you've got a backup on B
B on C, C on A etc
It's free as you've got the equipment already.
Write a batch job to copy the data and schedule it for something like 4am so if it takes a while it won't interfere with using your computer
