With the coming of System 7 and FileShare it seems like it should be possible
to setup a network wide backup system very easily.  Simply have each of your
users setup (or setup for them) a BACKUP User that has access to all of their
files (or at least those they want backed up).  Then nightly (or whenever)
you can mount their disks and backup them up as needed.

Isn't system 7 fun!
