 Backup software

Can anyone recommend basic backup software suitable for a small office (4 networked machines + occasional laptops)?

We will be taking daily incremental backups and a full backup once a week, with as much automation as possible. Volume is pretty low - mainly normal office documentation, accounts and the ballooning outlook.pst file.

Cost is definitely an issue, so I guess backup will be locally to CD unless there are very inexpensive online alternatives.

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks,

John
