1) install tightvnc as a service (www.tightvnc.com) on the win2k box
2) Use the scheduled tasks available (control panel) to have the win2k box write backups onto it's hard drive
3) Once a week, fire up VNC to connect to connect to the Win2k box
4) Once there, start winscp (www.winscp.org) to connect back to your Linux box and push the most recent weekly backup across
This is obviously lacking as it has human in the loop, but it is quick to implment. Also, unless you already have a VPN in place, the login credentials at step #3 are not strongly encrypted.

recommendations and sharing of your techniques would be greatly appreciated. The connection speed between the boxes are typically 256kbps.
