Low-cost online disk backup solution on FreeBSD. Hardware/Software recomendations?

Good day,

I need an advice. What hardware/software would you recommend
for online 
disk backup server solution on FreeBSD?
99% of clients will be Windows XP/Vista users and the main
requirement 
is low cost solution meaning that the client license should
be free 
(GPL?) or low-priced compared to Tivoli or other vendors.

I was looking at BoxBackup as a software and gonna test it
pretty soon, 
I like the encription feature. Any sucess stories with it?
Pros/Cons? Or 
other recomendations?

Hardware is a big question. Any experience with Intel
storage systems 
and FreeBSD? Like this one: 
http://www.intel.com/design/servers/storage/ssr21
2mc2/index.htm
or
http://www.intel.com/design/servers/storage/ssr212
pp/index.htm

Is this hardware supported? Any experience or other hardware
recomendations?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

If this should be sent to some other list, please let me
know.

Thanks in advance.

Investigate both Bacula and BackupPC.  Both might suit your
needs,
depending on the exact details of your needs.
